     "@2026-02-22T01:13:53\nUser:\nLets port this program to use  https://github.com/pthom/hello_imgui or another imgui package (WEb search if you have to) that will allow us to do Multi-Viewporting (independent OS windows).\nSo far all my attempts to get dearpygui working with native os window multi-viewporting have failed. Which c++ imgui supports. I think there might be a python package that supports this.\n\nWorst case I might have to use a different language that has a dear imgui package with multi-viewporting support that may make ai codegen performance far worse.",
     "@2026-02-22T01:15:32\nAI:\nAlright, I've done extensive research on this. Here's my assessment:\n\n## The Multi-Viewport Situation in Python\n\n### The Problem with DearPyGui\nDearPyGui wraps Dear ImGui but **does not expose the multi-viewport feature** (dragging imgui windows out as independent OS windows). It has its own docking implementation but the C++ multi-viewport backend plumbing was never wired through to Python. You've already discovered this the hard way.\n\n### The Best Option: `imgui-bundle` (pip: `imgui-bundle`)\n\n**This is the package you want.** It's by Pascal Thomet (pthom) and wraps:\n- **Dear ImGui** (docking branch — which includes multi-viewport support)\n- **Hello ImGui** (application framework on top of Dear ImGui)\n- 20+ additional libraries (plots, markdown, node editors, etc.)\n\nKey facts:\n- `pip install imgui-bundle` — binary wheels for Windows/macOS/Linux\n- It tracks Dear ImGui's **docking branch** closely, which is the branch that contains `ImGuiConfigFlags_ViewportsEnable`\n- Full Python bindings with type hints\n- The API uses `imgui.config_flags` to set `ImGuiConfigFlags_ViewportsEnable`, then Dear ImGui handles creating/managing OS windows automatically when you drag an imgui window outside the main viewport\n- Has its own layout/docking system via Hello ImGui's dock spaces\n\n### What the Port Involves\n\nThis is a **massive** rewrite. The entire `gui.py` (2094 lines) and `theme.py` (415 lines) are completely DearPyGui-specific. Every single widget call, every tag system, every callback pattern is different. Here's the mapping:\n\n| DearPyGui | imgui-bundle |\n|---|---|\n| `dpg.add_text(...)` | `imgui.text(...)` |\n| `dpg.add_input_text(tag=..., ...)` | State variable + `imgui.input_text(...)` |\n| `dpg.add_button(label=..., callback=...)` | `if imgui.button(\"label\"): do_thing()` |\n| Tag-based widget identity | Immediate mode — no tags, state lives in your code |\n| `dpg.does_item_exist(tag)` | Not needed — immediate mode |\n| `dpg.configure_item(tag, ...)` | Just change the variable and it renders next frame |\n| `dpg.create_viewport()` + render loop | `hello_imgui.run(gui_func, params)` |\n| `dpg.enable_docking()` | `runner_params.imgui_window_params.enable_viewports = True` |\n| Theme via `dpg.add_theme_color()` | `imgui.push_style_color()` / `imgui.get_style()` |\n\nThe immediate-mode paradigm is actually **simpler** conceptually — no tags, no \"does item exist\" checks, no callback registration. But it means a full rewrite of all rendering code.\n\n### My Recommendation\n\n**Do the port to `imgui-bundle`.** Here's why:\n1. It definitively supports multi-viewporting (the whole point)\n2. The immediate-mode API is actually cleaner and more maintainable\n3. Better AI codegen compatibility (pthom specifically calls this out — readable code)\n4. You stay in Python — no language switch needed\n5. Active maintenance tracking upstream Dear ImGui\n\n### How I'd Structure the Port\n\n1. **Phase 1**: Install `imgui-bundle`, create a minimal proof-of-concept with multi-viewporting enabled (verify it works on your machine)\n2. **Phase 2**: Port `theme.py` → new imgui-bundle theming\n3. **Phase 3**: Port `gui.py` — the big one. Rewrite all panels as immediate-mode rendering functions\n4. **Phase 4**: Wire up the threading/callbacks (confirmation dialogs, background sends, etc.)\n\n**Want me to start with Phase 1 — a minimal proof-of-concept** that creates a window with viewports enabled, a couple of dockable panels, and verifies you can drag a panel out as an independent OS window? That way we confirm the foundation works before committing to the full rewrite.\n\nOr if you want me to just go all-in and start the full port, I can do that too. Your call.",
