The teaching-learning processes nowadays require pedagogical supports that allow the teacher to generate a space of real interaction from the classroom, for the student with his career; the training of professionals in earth sciences or engineering, must be accompanied by the teaching of computer programming, using high-level languages, free download and open source, as a resource applied to the solution of specific problems, presented in the stability of slopes. Here is shown a Python application to calculate and plot the factor of safety of a slope, through a Graphical User Interface (GUI), inserting: libraries, variables, functions and widgets of this language. The safety factor obtained by the application is 1.26, which coincides with that obtained by the manual procedure, the coordinate that plots the safety factor (Fs), to determine its sensitivity, as a function of the reciprocal height of the slope (H-1) on the straight line will be (0.005, 1.26), and the cut-off coordinate will be (0,0.8).
