Sat Nov 8, 2025 – PySide6

This presentation will look at how to write a program in the Python programming language using a graphical user interface (GUI) library named PySide6.

Our example program will accept a string of text, usually an HTTP link, and perform some sort of processing on said string. As part of the architecture of the program, to increase generality and usefulness, we use a shell (Bourne is the example) script, which is used to hold the command or commands processing the string.

The Python GUI program will call this external program and capture its output.

We will also take a brief look at PyInstaller for creating a
distributable single executable.
