I don't do windows, so I can't give you an answer.  To the group, this has
come up so consistantly lately.  Maybe a windows python user could explain
why this is so confusing to newbies on windows?



Hello,

Just to add to the above discussion, i find that when my workplace 
updated from win 7 to win 8.1 with fresh install, i downloaded the 
official python 3.5 and installed it.  Everything went well during 
installation, but, i couldn't find the default install python directory 
(maybe i didn't pay attention earlier), later, after some scratching my 
head and other intelligent thoughts and experiments i found it got 
installed in the users hidden appdata folder by default(confusing as i 
expected it to either get installed in a root folder or program files 
and also wondering why).  I used pycharm for working on previous win 
version, so after installing the same again i selected the python.exe 
file as default interpreter.  The big headache i found is that 
previously i could easily install packages from the pycharm interface, 
but currently the that thing is not working nor could i use it to run 
any of my previous apps(scipts) i created on win 7 (maybe not a python 
problem and i may find a workaround).  Finally as i had to get my work 
done, i used a (trusted) portable version of python3.4 with preinstalled 
modules and that got me working.  Wonder why is that so hard to work on 
win with python.


I work on linux at home and i never faced such a problem on it because 
it is natively supported on it.  Wonder when will microsoft understand 
that some programs need to be natively supported even if they are not 
made by them.


I love windows for what they are but i hold linux even more dearer for 
what it is.

PS : The system has upgraded to Win 10 but not tested the python 
installation on it.

Re: Everything good about Python except GUI IDE?

I have some VB forms with more than a hundred objects. If I cannot drag and

Isn't there any good GUI IDE like Visual Basic? I hope there are some less well 
known GUI IDEs which I did not come across. Thanks.

Hello,

I too faced such a problem, being familiar with basic i too found it 
difficult to transition from designer to text only, but i found the 
solution, i.e. qt, try pyqt, for desigining try qt creator, i don't know 
if qt designer is still installable but qt creator is. you can easily 
design your forms and generate python code and then integrate them with 
your program. a little commandline stuff, but you can always batch it up.
