Research how GUIs are commonly handled in Python projects

[BytecodeBrewer]

Goal

Research how GUI code is usually structured in small Python projects.

Research questions

• How should GUI code be separated from business logic?
• How much logic should be inside Tkinter callbacks?
• What are common patterns for simple Tkinter apps?
• When is Tkinter enough, and when would frameworks like PyQt, Kivy, Streamlit or web frontends make more sense?
• How should a small project structure GUI modules?

Deliverable

Create a short research note in docs/gui-research.md.

Acceptance criteria

• At least 3 GUI options are briefly compared
• Tkinter is evaluated for this project
• Recommended structure for this project is described
• Concrete next steps for the GUI prototype are listed
• Notes are practical, not tutorial-overkill

Suggested conclusion direction

For this project, Tkinter is good as a first learning GUI because it is built into Python and simple enough for a converter prototype. Business logic should stay outside the GUI code.
