Hi all,

I'm newer to programming and started a project in Python to give me more exposure. I'm currently building a poker game that allows multiple players to play each other.

I have most of the framework for the poker logic complete, but have never done any GUI programming. I know Python has some basic GUI stuff built in, but I was curious if there were any opinions on which GUI framework would be easiest/quickest for a poker game.

Details of game:
The game is only hold em, but there's flexibility to add in Omaha at a later date. Technically right now we can have N number of players, but will likely restrict to 10 max. Only one table can be played at a time.

There is not a concept of a lobby right now. It's only "you vs. computer", "you vs. friends" or "mixed company".

Out of scope:
web interaction
Logins/authentications
Pmt processing


I'm looking for easiest/quickest right now because of my lack of GUI experience and wanting to complete the project sooner rather than later.

Thanks for any help or resources!

I used wxpython a few years back for a kind of similar project and it did everything I needed and was easy enough to use, but Ive never used any others so I really dunno if its better than what else is out there

I happened to browse this forum for another reason and saw this post. Here is a link to a poker clock, I don't know if it will help you, I believe this was written in Python.
I know it isn't exactly what you are looking for but it might help with some aspects to the project.

EDIT: The forum doesn't like the link to the project, the project is called "Simple Poker Tournament Clock" and is at Source Forge.

wxPython and pyQt are good but in this day and age I'd go with a web interface (even though that would be quite a bit to learn probably)

There is an open source poker game called pokerth but I believe it was written in C++. Because it is open source you can use and modify the code according to the license. They are looking for programmers to improve the game.

You have to download a client and register, it currently runs live games.

I've had similar thoughts but always wondered if there'd be any problems displaying multiple tables and lobbies.
