"""
When creating a new PySimpleGUI program from scratch, start here.
These are the accepted design patterns that cover the two primary use cases

1. A window that closes when a "submit" type button is clicked
2. A persistent window that stays open after button clicks (uses an event loop)
3. A persistent window that needs access to the elements' interface variables
