Instead of building a GUI application with callbacks and event loops, you call functions like msgbox(), ynbox(), and buttonbox() to show dialogs and get user input synchronously. It's designed for scripts and small tools that need a quick graphical interface without the overhead of learning a full GUI framework.\n\nThe package runs on Python 2 and 3 and has no dependencies beyond Tkinter, which ships with most Python installations. It supports basic dialog types\u2014message boxes, yes/no prompts, button selections, text input, and file open/save dialogs\u2014and allows customization of button labels and keyboard hotkeys. The description notes the project is in maintenance mode with limited recent activity, though the repository remains available for contributions.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need simple synchronous dialogs for a script or educational project. The low install friction, zero runtime dependencies, and permissive license make it straightforward to add. However, the dormant maintenance status (last release 1596 days ago) means it's not actively developed; use it for lightweight, stable use cases, not for new applications requiring ongoing support or modern GUI features."},"id":"easygui","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/easygui","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/easygui.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/easygui/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2022-04-01","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"easygui","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"EasyGUI is a module for very simple, very easy GUI programming in Python.
