Whoa ! What a discovery ! This is brilliant. I'm new to the Python stumbled upon pySimpleGUI, and now upon Mike and these videos. Feels like I just bought a new car that goes 0 to 60 in a half second! Thanks Mike!
Why thank you! That's quite a nice message to wake up to.... I really appreciate you taking a moment and saying how much you like it. I hope you have a ton of success using it. It may sound odd, but I get the same kind of excitement using PySimpleGUI as I do working on it.... maybe more. It's fun to be able to write only a little bit of code and get a lot on the screen as a result. Be sure and check out the Demo Programs area (Demos.PySimpleGUI.org). I'm reworking the readme and am organizing the demos a little better. Before they went over 200, it was pretty easy to look at the filename and find the demo that would help you. It's a good place to go to get the latest coding conventions / ways of doing things. They provide an instant 30 mph headstart before even putting your foot on the accelerator. It's a lot easier starting with something that works that you can then build on, especially early on. Good luck! If you make a GitHub repo, be sure and put a screenshot in your readme so everyone can see what you made. People love pictures!
@@PySimpleGUI Hey, before I discovered "you", I had installed Anaconda, and had started using Spyder. Its OK, but not perfectly intuitive to me - but maybe I just need a bit of time and patience to get the hang of it. Do you think its worth switching to PyCharm? My project (a hobby, not a biz) is a bilingual dictionary of a difficult/complex Native American language. I have already created a good sized database in Excel. Actually, I already have made an operational version based on VBA. But that is tethered to Excel, and to make if really "distributable", I need to cut that chain. The tool is much more that simple word look up, so it has a half dozen GUI screens, with all the usual window features, and that display anywhere from a few words, up to multiple pages of scrolling text. Anyway, to Charm or not to Charm, that is the question...
@@abarlow7723 PyCharm! I don't think I've ever heard someone say they had a strong disliking of PyCharm. Of course, saying that will just cause someone to say don't like it ;-) In short, yes, do it. It's worth learning. I love it and spend my days in it. I had an enormous productivity boost when I started using PyCharm. The PySimpleGUI DocStrings work really well with PyCharm (although there's a problem with docstrings in the 2020 version of PyCharm...I'm running 2019.1 and it work great). I've used it in both a virtual and normal environment. I prefer to do my pip installs from a command prompt rather than doing it through PyCharm. In fact, my 3.6 install was done using Anaconda. You can setup PyCharm with your existing installation as it is. I took a day to set mine up initially. I changed the color coding for example to make comments bright yellow instead of greyed out. I've never understood greying out comments since they tend to be pretty important words. If you set aside time just to setup/learn PyCharm rather than immediately diving in with the goal of running your code ASAP then you may find it a more enjoyable learning experience. There are not that many features you have to use in PyCharm. The run and debug buttons are about all you really need to mess with. The project area is drag and drop or single click to edit. Take a look at my video about using PyCharm with PySimpleGUI if you've not seen it yet.
Thank you! I appreciate the encouragement. It's awesome to see people watching these videos and learning. At least I hope people are able to learn from them. I just completed uploading Part 4 and am converting part 5 now. There have been a number of new features added to PySimpleGUI in the past few months. I feel like I need to make a periodic "what's new" video to highlight the new features. Maybe I can make one per release? Then again, time spent making videos means less time spent elsewhere, like making the documentation for the new features. Maybe a monthly would be a compromise. Anyway, I hope these new, "more efficient" versions are a hit! The impression I get listening to them is that they sounds like I've got my act together more or are more confident or better prepared. Something changes, I just can't put my finger on exactly what that is. Thanks again for the kind words.
@@PySimpleGUI i just have to say: PSG and you as a teacher are the perfect combination ever! The world needs amazing people doing and making wonderful things, fortunately I have had the chance to at least read articles from one of them. Congrats Mike!
@@jorgegil13283 I'm just some guy writing software, no different than you are. I learn stuff from beginners all the time. Everyone adds a little something.
Did you notice the video about PyCharm? ruclips.net/video/6lspF_ohQIE/видео.html The main documentation for PySimpleGUI (www.PySimpleGUI.org) has 34 mentions of PyCharm. I don't go into a lot of detail on setting it up. Between the video and the documentation there should be plenty there to get you going. The new course I'm working on goes into it in some detail too.

Hi Sir Please how can I add a documentation section to Pycharm like yours Thx
