From Python's docs:Python is most usable in contexts where it's called from other apps.
What platform-independent GUI toolkits exist for Python?
https://docs.python.org/3/faq/gui.html#id4
And some code in Python with a Mac GUI:
Code: Select all

# The original PyObjC interface example by Steve Majewski.

# NSApp.setDelegate_() doesn't retain it. A local variable is
# enough here.
