import efl.elementary as elm
from efl.elementary.label import Label
from efl.elementary.window import StandardWindow
from efl.evas import EVAS_HINT_EXPAND

EXPAND_BOTH = EVAS_HINT_EXPAND, EVAS_HINT_EXPAND


class MainWindow(StandardWindow):
    def __init__(self):
        StandardWindow.__init__(self, "ex1", "Hello Elementary", size=(300, 200))
        self.callback_delete_request_add(lambda o: elm.exit())
        label = Label(self)
        label.size_hint_weight = EXPAND_BOTH
        label.text = "Hello Elementary!"
        label.show()
        self.resize_object_add(label)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    elm.init()
    gui = MainWindow()
    gui.show()
    elm.run()

Note: elm.shutdown is no longer needed as per the docs which says

        .. versionchanged:: 1.14

            The Python module calls this function when it is exiting so you
            should no longer have any need to call this manually. Calling it does
            not carry any penalty though.
