  • Research Windows API integration with Python
  • Investigate licensing options for open-source software distribution
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for software developers, particularly those interested in creating Windows applications using free and open-source tools, as well as those looking to understand GUI programming with Python.

Hello everyone,

Can anyone suggest me a suitable GUI programming language for windows (like Microsoft VB or anything else). The software should be free of cost. It also should not restrict me to publish my product as freeware/open source. (Additionally the software should be able to handle windows API and produce native executable)

Thank You.
