Desktop applications are software programs that run on a computer's desktop and provide functionality to the user. These applications can range from simple programs like text editors to more complex ones like video editing software. In this article, we will explore how to create desktop applications using Python, a popular programming language known for its simplicity and ease of use.

Tkinter is a built-in library that comes with Python and is easy to use, but it may not have as many features as PyQt.

Here is an example of a simple Tkinter-based desktop application that displays a window with a button:
