Based on the Qt Python binding module PyQt4, guidata is a Python library generating graphical user interfaces for easy dataset editing and display. It also provides helpers and application development tools for PyQt4.

The guidata library is available for Windows XP/Vista/7, GNU/Linux (official packages are available for Debian, Ubuntu and archlinux) and MacOS X.

Documentation is available here.

Simple example

The main feature of guidata is to generate graphical user interfaces for dataset editing. Here is an example with a dialog box creation (see the documentation for more examples):

import guidata
guidata.qapplication() # not required if a QApplication has already been created

import guidata.dataset.datatypes as dt
import guidata.dataset.dataitems as di

class Processing(dt.DataSet):
    """Example"""
    a = di.FloatItem("Parameter #1", default=2.3)
    b = di.IntItem("Parameter #2", min=0, max=10, default=5)
    type = di.ChoiceItem("Processing algorithm",
                         ("type 1", "type 2", "type 3"))

param = Processing()
param.edit()

Here is the generated GUI dialog box:
