Open Source Once Again...

Hey, it's Mike....

We gave the commercialization a shot and while an incredbile experience, the effort didn't produce the financial requirements to keep the PySimpleGUI project running in the capacity we envisioned. As a result, we announced in Febuary 2025 that PySimpleSoft was going to shut down operations. We also announced that we were would supply support through the end of 2025.

We completed the shutdown. The next step was to determine what to do with all the materials and GitHub repos. I already knew I wanted to keep the repos around for reference. The question became what to do with the software.

PySimpleGUI 6

Alt text

I decided to release all of the code used in PSG 5 into opensouce. After stripping out the licensing and security code that was in version 5, I released the code under an LGPL3 License. It's now available on GitHub and on PyPI.

Installing from PyPI

If you want to install version 6, then simply install the version from PyPI by running:

python -m pip install PySimpleGUI

The older version 4.60.5 is also on PyPI. You can get it by running:

python -m pip install PySimpleGUI==4.60.5.1

Installing from Github

GitHub contains the most up to date version of the code.

You can install the latest version straight from the PySimpleGUI GitHub repo without downloading the repo by running:

python -m pip install --upgrade https://github.com/PySimpleGUI/PySimpleGUI/zipball/master

If you want to download the repo then download/clone and run in the downloaded folder:

python -m pip install .

Longer Term Outlook

I'm still finishing up the version 5 to 6 transition of the repos and the documentation. After it's complete, but I'm unsure what the support of the project looks like. If the past 8 years is any indication, I'm terrible at predicting the future. For now, I'm around and happy to help.

Thank you

PySimpleGUI has been an experience of a lifetime, and we’ve enjoyed watching & helping people create incredible applications. Thank you to the many users that supported our effort over the past several years.
