I would like to thank all truly great artists, such as Leonardo da Vinci, Charles Baudelaire, Edgar Allan Poe, and so many others for bringing beauty into our human lives. This book is about creating very beautiful GUIs written in the Python programming language, and it was inspired by these truly great artists.
I would like to thank all of the great people that made this book possible. Without any of you, this book would only exist in my mind. I would like to especially thank all of my editors at Packt Publishing: Tanvi, Sonali, Anurag, Prashant, Vivek, Arwa, Sumeet, Saurabh, Pramod, Nikhil, Ketan, and so many others. I would also like to thank all of the reviewers of the code of this book. Without them, this book would be harder to read and apply to real-world problems.
Last but not least, I'd like to thank my wife, our daughter, and our parents for the emotional support they provided so successfully during the writing of the second and third editions of this book. I'd also like to give thanks to the creator of the very beautiful and powerful programming language that Python truly is. Thank you, Guido.
