I am an Electrical engineer. I am completely new for programming and coding..

Actually i am working as estimation engineer, where i am doing the same estimation again and again with excel.

As same in design stage also i am doing the same again and again.

I thought i will create a application which will automatically do the estimation based on my input. and the same time at the time of design stage it will input from my estimation sheet it will generate the drawing automatically.

(i am doing estimation in excel, preparing drawing in auto cad)

from google, i found the following..

To write a program I need to know a language. so i selected python version 3.6.1

To create a stand alone or micro soft windows installer i selected cx freeze which is converting my code to .exe filex

To create a user interface i selected glade.

But i dont know how to install gtk builder to link pythin code and glade files.

Hopefully you got the point what i am looking..

I am using windiws 10 with 64 bit version

Advance thanks for all

All the information you need on how to install GTK+ and Glade on Windows is on the GTK+ Website.

However, If you're a total beginner, then I suggest you start small, as the kind of work you're describing seems a lot of work for someone who has never written a single line of code.

As suggested by @liberforce, install GTK+ and Glade on Windows from their GTK+ Website. This way you will have an environment (MINGW64) inside which you can practice.

Install python from their download site.

Check also these instructions for how to use it. The key points (at least for me) are:

  • Copy the hello.py script you created to C:\msys64\home\<username>
  • In the mingw32 terminal execute python3 hello.py - a window should appear.

After that, if you want to make an executable, follow these instructions. Try their example for gedit to get some ideas on how to create and how PKGBUILD works (a.k.a. follow the instructions for gedit to see what's happening).
