Description
This is an exercise converting a UI framework created in Figma into Python code, with an added feature for saving entered data directly to an Excel-sheet.
This is made possible by the Tkinter Designer tool (Copyright (c) 2021, Parth Jadhav), which as the name suggests, uses Python’s Tkinter library -the most commonly used library for creating UI-applications in Python.
As an experiment, I created a small form-like UI in Figma, which I then converted to Python code. I also added the Openpyxl library into the converted code, allowing the user’s form entries to be saved directly to an Excel sheet. Or creating it if it doesn’t excist.
My Thoughts
Although similar results can certainly be achieved more easily with ready-made tools, this exercise demonstrates that comparable functionality can be accomplished locally without additional cloud services or coding the entire application from scratch. However, enabling Excel-saving required quite a bit of code modification.
