Yesterday I discovered a modern-looking UI toolkit for Python called NiceGUI and I played around a bit.

Installation:

pip install nicegui

Hello world application

from nicegui import ui
ui.label('Hello world!')
ui.run()

To go a bit further, I decided to use the 2024 Olympic Games open data to load a list of all Olympic sites. First I downloaded locally the json file containing all sites for the Olympics and Paralympics Games.

import json
from nicegui import ui

columns = [
{'name': 'site', 'label': 'Site', 'field': 'site', 'required': True, 'align': 'left'},
{'name': 'sports', 'label': 'Sport(s)', 'field': 'sports', 'sortable': True, 'align': 'left'},
]

link = 'paris-2024-sites-de-competition.json'
# read file
with open(link, 'r') as myfile:
    data = myfile.read()

# parse file
sites = json.loads(data)
rows = []

for site in sites:
if site["category_id"] == "venue-olympic":
    rows.append({'site': site["nom_du_site"], 
                  'sports' : site["sports"]})

ui.table(title="Olympic sites list", columns=columns, rows=rows, pagination=10)

ui.run(title='JO Paris 2024')

And voilà! It will show in your web browser by default.
