GUI and charts in Python

[abattia]

I am embarking on building a custom Python trading algo which will need a GUI and a charting capability.

Any recommendations/suggestions for cool Python packages or libraries for trading, GUIs and/or charting?

Thanks!

for complex GUIs https://wiki.python.org/moin/PyQt
you can do charting with matplotlib and embed charts in PyQt

Did mine with PyQt and charting with matplotlib but it's a bit of a headache to use. I'm waiting for PySide2 to be ready, much more reasonable for licensing.

Ouch!

Do you think the 'headache' element was attributable to PyQt specifically?

Is there something about PyQt that gives it a higher 'migraine score' than others?

Thanks!

PyQT has a gui designer that will create a file. I did one a while ago http://bit.ly/TFFL7V
