I strongly recommend becoming less adverse to the command line. It opens up so many possibilities! GUI tools are great and there is nothing wrong with using them—even almost exclusively—but understanding what’s under the hood, or at the very least not be “adverse” to it, is important. Put another way, you don’t need to know how to fix a car to drive one, or even how the engine works. But being adverse to opening the hood to add windshield washer fluid will be quite limiting!

r/learnpython on Reddit: Is there a GUI Python package manager?

February 18, 2025 -

Are there any GUI-based package managers for Python that allow installing libraries and applications without using the command line?

I'm looking for something like a "visual pip" that would make it easy for command-line adverse users to install and manage Python packages.

Does anything like this exist?

Developers will use whatever tools they have at their disposal, so I'm assuming you're talking about end users here. In which case my answer is; they shouldn't need to do that. When you're distributing your program to end users, the best thing you can do for them is to offer a painless way for them to use your program without needing all the technical know-how. On Windows that'd mean offering pre-built EXE-files or installers that take care of setting up everything the program needs to run. Or you can offer it as a web service, where appropriate. They shouldn't need to worry about installing dependencies except maybe if your project is a wrapper for another program, like FFMPEG, and needs that installed to work.

You need to rebuild all of your python packages that aren't from the repos to the current version: https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/rf6c84/psa_python_310_is_in_core_rebuild_your_aur/ More on reddit.com
