White Screen Issue with Toolbar After Python Installation

[evelynfreya]

Hi everyone,

White color screen issue with options like help, license, etc when I install Python on my computer. However, during my course, Python shows a white lines with a toolbar that allows creating new files, debugging, and other features.

I’m trying to figure out how to access this screen interface. Does it require additional setup? If I already have Anaconda installed, is there a way to access this white background screen with the toolbar through Anaconda or another method?

Thanks!

Built into most all python distributions is a package called tkinter.
You can find a good, free, tutorial here
tkinter is a wrapper built around tcl/tk.

There are variations of tkinter as well that greatly improve on appearence.

The most prominant are
ttkbootstrap -- PyPi -- GitHub
custom tkinter

There's also wxpython, Qt ( pyQt6 and PySide6 for python ) and others.
You will find many applications that can be used on top of most of these graphics packages, like matplotlib for one.

Most all have excellent tutorials available.

What are you running to see the white screen? What is your computer's OS?

Python does not have a graphical interface. There are graphical tools designed to work with Python (Spyder, Pycharm, VS Code IDE's, Jupyter notebook, Jupyter lab). Python can be used to write graphical user interface programs (using tkinter, Qt, wxpython...). But Python is a programming language, not an application with a GUI.

I have been wondering why all I see is just a link removed, turns out I’ve been using the basic Python interpreter. I’ll give Spyder or Jupyter Notebook a try through Anaconda and see how that goes.
