Building Standalone app using python and ElectronJs

 


When it comes to building a deployable standalone app forwindows or mac using python, We python developers have comparatively less choices. The very first step is to choose a GUI kit for your python app. There are several GUI kits available for python, like PyQT, Tkinter, Kivy, WxPython etc. But all these are quite old and provide ancient looking GUIs. So To provide morden looking GUIs the only and most efficient choice we have is ElectronJs.

In this tutorial we will be using ElectronJS as front end for your python app. ElectronJS is a tool by github, which lets us make cross platform desktop apps by using HTML, CSS and JavaScript. So all you need to get started is the basic knowledge of these web languages. Electron will work as a middleware between HTML front end and python.

Above figure defines the architecture of how our Python-Electron app will work. Electron is our front end and it makes and controls UI windows which we need in our app. Content inside these windows will be put using HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Python will be used as a back-end where we will write our logic part of the app.

Essentials:

·         Python

·         NodeJs

·         ElectronJS

·         python-shell

After you have installed the above mentioned dependencies you need to download Electron Quick start library using git.

# Clone the Quick Start repository
$ git clone https://github.com/electron/electron-quick-start

# Go into the repository
$ cd electron-quick-start
