Is there a simple GUI which allows you to place your cmd line script into a button-icon that when pressed will run that script? Just can't seem to wrap my head around learning GUI programming. Current writing in python 3

You can create a gui in Python, but my python is rusty so I couldn't tell you how. Probably the easiest way is just to create a shortcut to your script. If double clicking the .py script doesn't run it automatically, you can create a shortcut that runs the python executable and passes that script to it.

Have a look at kivy. It's python based and is pretty simple to learn. I just started playing with it today and already have something to show for.

Walter L. McCormick Will do and thank you. Got any examples you have created?

[G+_Walter L. McCormick]

Look up "kivy crash course" on YouTube. Should be the first Playlist that shows up. That's where I started

Ben Reese Thank you. Looking for something in the form that most programs present them self's in windows or unix GUI environment. A bit vague but think the idea is there.

What is the difference between toolkits;

Gtk, Qt, Tk, and wxWidgets

and frameworks;

Kivy, PyQt, gui2Py, libavg and wxPython?

Also which wins the simplicity war?

[G+_Walter L. McCormick]

Never used any of them besides kivy. And I just started yesterday. However, with kivy it is pretty simple to learn. It reminds me of a CSS style sheet. A pro of using kivy is that it is cross platform including mobile. The same application that runs on the pc will run on android or ios once you compile for that platform.

Kivy is great but probably overkill in terms of learning curve, and required feature set. Check out https://github.com/chriskiehl/Gooey

Marcin Wisniowski Does this only function in linux?

[G+_Marcin Wisniowski]

No, it's cross platform. It uses wxPython for GUI. And with pyinstaller it's super easy to convert your script into a distributable executable (https://github.com/chriskiehl/Gooey#packaging).
