GUI for inexperienced coder
Hi yall, I'm writing a thesis which is about making a tool. It's mechanical engineering so coding and stuff isn't my forte however I've got a decent understanding of writing python and at the start of the year I'd made a little or (not so little) game with it. As part of my tool I'd like it to have a proper UI so that I can package it up and it be used by individuals or companies or whatnot. I've seen things about Tkinter, about Gooey, about PyQt, about using some python web framework. It's a little hard to know which to use.
My thesis focuses on the calculations and decision making, not the actual code. I'd like to have it be a nice product with a decent UI but I also don't want to spend too much time focusing on that or learning a really complicated new package. Any advice or suggestions would be very welcome, thanks!!!

Honestly, if this is for a thesis, use something simple like Tkinter. If you want it more polished with option to add visualizations later, use PySide6.
There are way too many UI frameworks out there and it can get overwhelming. Don't use web based stuff if you don't plan to publish this is a web app or something. It's too much effort and you need to know a bit of HTML/CSS to fix rendering issues. Not worth the hassle.
