Dear PyGui is a simple to use (but powerful) Python GUI framework. DearPyGui provides a wrapping of DearImGui that provides a hybrid of a traditional retained mode GUI and Dear ImGui's immediate mode paradigm.

Dear PyGui is fundamentally different than other Python GUI frameworks. Under the hood, DearPyGui uses the immediate mode paradigm allowing for extremely dynamic interfaces. DearPyGui does not use native widgets, but instead draws the widgets using your computer's GPU. DearPyGui is currently supported on the following platforms:

In the same manner Dear ImGui provides a simple way to create tools for game developers, DearPyGui provides a simple way for python developers to create quick and powerful GUIs for scripts.

Installing

Ensure you have at least Python 3.7.

pip install dearpygui
or
pip3 install dearpygui

Usage

DearPyGui is an all included GUI framework. A variety of examples demonstrating usage can be found in the Examples folder /Examples. To get started checkout the Tutorials and for all other references visit the Documentation or from within the library by using the show_documentation command.

Using DearPyGui is a simple as creating a python script like the one below:

Code:

from dearpygui.dearpygui import *

add_text("Hello world")
add_button("Save", callback="save_callback")
add_input_text("string")
add_slider_float("float")

def save_callback(sender, data):
    print("Save Clicked")

start_dearpygui()
