Python Desktop App

Learn how to make a desktop GUI application using Python, JavaScript, HTML, & CSS all thanks to pywebview.

pywebview is essentially a mini web-browser that you can control. It makes it really easy to write any python code to integrate directly to JavaScript. Building an app for pywebview is much like building a web application but a few key differences:

  • Database optional
  • Access to local users' file system
  • Virtually no latency (between JavaScript and Python)
  • Offline by default (no need to use the internet).

The advantage of using pywebview is that:

  • Frontends can leverage web technology frontends like React, Vue, Angular, Bootstrap, Preact, and much more
  • Incredibly small build size (roughly 20MB for a full application)
  • Simple and powerful API
  • Cross Platform (macOS, Windows, Linux)
