About EasyGUI
EasyGUI is a module for very simple, very easy GUI programming in the Python programming language.
Experienced Pythonistas need to be able to make simple GUI interfaces quickly and easily. New Python programmers, students, and sysadmins need GUI capabilities that don't require knowledge of Tkinter, frames, widgets, callbacks or lambda. This is what EasyGUI provides. Using EasyGUI, all GUI interactions are invoked by simple function calls.
EasyGUI is different from other GUIs in that EasyGUI is NOT event-driven. It allows you to program in a traditional linear fashion, and to put up dialogs for simple input and output when you need to. If you have not yet learned the event-driven paradigm for GUI programming, EasyGUI will allow you to be productive with very basic tasks immediately. Later, if you wish to make the transition to an event-driven GUI paradigm, you can do so with a more powerful GUI package such as anygui, PythonCard, Tkinter, wxPython, etc.

EasyGui for Students
Austrian elementary-school teacher Horst Jens says that "I can proudly report that EasyGui is very popular with my students (game programming courses)." Horst and his students have made several videos showing their use of EasyGui. See Lexi shows msgbox and Leo shows buttonbox. and Mira and Teresa show a simple graphic adventure game.
In August 2009 the University of Toronto announced that it would be using EasyGui while using Python as a first-year programming language. "We've dropped Tkinter this fall in favour of EasyGUI, which has major limitations but is much more teachable."
