Latest Post: Building a Python App
Normally when you go to run a Python app, you’ll be thinking about opening a terminal and typing the command python, followed by whatever app you want.
You’re probably aware that most of your other apps don’t behave like this. They have icons, and you can hit “Start” and search for them, and you don’t need to remember to activate their environment.
How come Python is so different? And why can’t we have all the same features for a Python app?
It turns out, of course, that we can.
