It is primarily a standard Python (2 and 3) module reimplementing the SimpleGUI particular module of CodeSkulptor2 and CodeSkulptor3 (a Python browser environment). This is in fact a package also with other modules adapted from CodeSkulptor.

Simply change

import simplegui

by

try:
    import simplegui
except ImportError:
    import SimpleGUICS2Pygame.simpleguics2pygame as simplegui

in your CodeSkulptor program and your program run both in CodeSkulptor and standard Python with this module (and Pygame).

Online HTML documentation on Read The Docs. (You can also see the online SimpleGUI documentation on CodeSkulptor2 or SimpleGUI documentation on CodeSkulptor3.)

First, read this short main documentation page, this Compatibility page and this Tips page.

If you have problem with some command, you can see its documentation in the modules page.

Next, you can search in Stack Overflow. If you don't find answer, you can ask question like this.

Finally you can email me. I will try to help you with pleasure.

Installation requires that Python tools are up to date. If not, then see the Online HTML documentation. Else, simply do:

$ python -m pip install SimpleGUICS2Pygame --user

Note that $ represents the prompt and do not be entered by you.

If several Python implementations are installed, maybe you must use something like python2 or python3 instead python command.

With the --user option the installation is made in the user directory and doesn't require administrator rights.

Normally all requirements are automatically installed. But for that you need have pip and other installation packages installed and up to date.

On Arch Linux you can use this package installation script (written by Danny Fajardo): Arch_Linux/PKGBUILD.

You can see examples in SimpleGUICS2Pygame/example/ subdirectory from the sources archives.

Or online: Python programs running in CodeSkulptor .

Two simple online examples:

• Frame_example.py: very simple canvas example
• presentation.py: little draw images and texts

This is a free software, so you can download it, modify it and submit your modifications. You can also redistribute your own version (keeping the GPL license).

• SimpleGUI of CodeSkulptor2 (Scott Rixner) is a specific module of CodeSkulptor2, written in JavaScript.

  CodeSkulptor is a Python implementation running in a browser. It implements a subset of Python 2. It is the environment used in the course An Introduction to Interactive Programming in Python (Rice University, Coursera).

• SimpleGUI of CodeSkulptor3 (Scott Rixner) is the same in the new version CodeSkulptor3 that implements a subset of Python 3.

• SimpleGUICS2Pygame (Olivier Pirson) is this package. It is fully compatible with Python 2 and 3.

  It contains codeskulptor, numeric, simpleguics2pygame and simpleplot modules that reimplement codeskulptor, numeric, simplegui and simpleplot modules of CodeSkulptor.

  Warning

  SimpleGUICS2Pygame was designed to mimic behavior of CodeSkulptor. So load_image() and load_sound() methods can load medias only from URL, not local files. However SimpleGUICS2Pygame can save these medias to a specific local directory. See the Download medias tips.

  You can also use specific _load_local_image() and _load_local_sound() methods to load local files. But be careful, each specific method doesn't exist in CodeSkulptor.

  There exist some little differences between SimpleGUICS2Pygame and SimpleGUI of CodeSkulptor. See Compatibility notes.

• SimpleGUITk (David Holm) is another implementation of SimpleGUI of CodeSkulptor, using Tkinter and some others packages. It is really less complete and not updated. However it works for some programs.
• simplequi (Arthur Gordon-Wright) is another implementation of SimpleGUI of CodeSkulptor, using Qt/PySide2. It is a partial implementation that I have not tested.
