GUI IDE with PyDev Eclipse

Question

I have 2 weeks to finish my final year project.I need a GUI IDE or a GUI framework compatible with PyDev and Eclipse.

I cannot spend time learning something cause the functionality is yet to be completed.I'm looking for very simple GUI for a simulation game.

I need a GUI IDE or a GUI framework compatible with PyDev and Eclipse.

There is no Eclipse embedded GUI editor for any of the Python GUI frameworks, but it's not so bad. Do you really need for it to be integrated on Eclipse?

The closest you can get is may be use Jython and use some swing GUI editor.

Depending on the framework you want to use (GTK+/QT3/QT4/wxWidgets) you'll get to choose a graphical GUI editor.

It doesn't matter what tool we give you, you are going to have to learn to use it.

If what you want is to develop is a game, you should take a look at PyGame (must read) and Cocos2D, although there a lot more others.

Solution 2

This page http://wiki.python.org/moin/GuiProgramming has a fairly complete list of gui frameworks and gui builders. I don't have too much experience with building gui's, but I've done a little bit with WxPython and PyQt. Both seem fairly easy to get a basic gui going quickly.

I haven't used a gui builder, but hand coding a gui in python is not nearly as painful as it is in other languages in my opinion, so I don't think they are really necessary for a simple gui.

Also, I think either of these frameworks would be compatible with PyDev and Eclipse. You just have to install the library and import them into your existing code.

There is some compatibility problem of wxpython with Eclipe PyDev or just python version.I'm yet to figure this out.Still searching PYQT integration wil Eclipse

What problems are you having? I would also recommend you try PyQt first, it makes a little more sense to me.
