How to build a cross-platform graphical user interface with Python
If you need to build a user interface for your Python code, most guides will tell you that your only options are to use the command line, or wrap your code in a web interface.
However, there is another option - building a GUI interface. In this talk, you'll learn how to build a cross-platform GUI application to wrap your Python code.

I want a ticket!No matter the language it's written in, code is only useful if a user can interact with it. In this talk, you'll learn about the options that exist for building cross-platform GUI interfaces with Python. You'll learn about the unique problems that face developers of GUI applications, and how to address those problems. You'll also get an introduction to Toga, the cross-platform GUI toolkit that is part of the BeeWare Project, and to Briefcase, which can be used to deploy apps to macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, Android, and the web.
