The free-forever GUI library
LGPL-3.0 License
In this release, we introduced a significant refactor (specifically, introduced in https://github.com/spyoungtech/FreeSimpleGUI/pull/9) of the large FreeSimpleGUI module. This is just a first step we're taking towards making FreeSimpleGUI more maintainable and approachable for contributors. There's still a lot of work to do, but this change cuts the main module size in half, making it quite a bit easier for LSPs and Intellisense to keep up with changes. Elements are now tucked neatly away into their own modules within the new elements
subpackage.
All names are imported back into the main package, so this change should be non-breaking.
We also moved the main module back to __init__.py
instead of the internal FreeSimpleGUI.py
module. This avoids a bug introduced by the initial refactor by which changes to global state (which is unfortunately used extensively) may not take effect properly in some cases.
Other minor changes and deprecations:
pil_imported
and pil_import_attempted
are no longer used internally. Attempting to access these globals will produce a deprecation warning.save_element_screenshot_to_disk
and save_window_screenshot_to_disk
returning None
when PIL
cannot be imported is deprecated. In a future version, calling save_element_screenshot_to_disk
or save_window_screenshot_to_disk
when PIL
cannot be imported will raise an ImportError
.save_element_screenshot_to_disk
or save_window_screenshot_to_disk
would incidentally overwrite the Image
element class due to use of the global
keyword in these methods and importing the name Image
from PIL whilst marking Image
as global
timer_start
, timer_stop
, and timer_stop_usec
are deprecated and will be removed in a future version. (code timing is not FreeSimpleGUI's wheelhouse, and these implementations are flawed in any case). Not to be confused with the Window
class methods of the same name, which are unchanged.CamelCase
names that have snake_case
function name replacements is deprecated and those camel-cased function aliases may be removed in a future version. Using these names will produce a deprecation warning.Enhancements from new contributors:
