GUI Applications
|
||
================
|
||
|
||
Alphabetical list of GUI Applications.
|
||
|
||
Camelot
|
||
-------
|
||
`Camelot <http://www.python-camelot.com>`_ provides components for building
|
||
applications on top of Python, SQLAlchemy and Qt. It is inspired by
|
||
the Django admin interface.
|
||
|
||
The main resource for information is the website:
|
||
http://www.python-camelot.com
|
||
and the mailing list https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/project-camelot
|
||
|
||
Cocoa
|
||
-----
|
||
.. note:: The Cocoa framework is only available on OS X. Don't pick this if you're writing a cross-platform application!
|
||
|
||
GTk
|
||
---
|
||
PyGTK provides Python bindings for the GTK+ toolkit. Like the GTK+ library
|
||
itself, it is currently licensed under the GNU LGPL. It is worth noting that
|
||
PyGTK only currently supports the Gtk-2.X API (NOT Gtk-3.0). It is currently
|
||
recommended that PyGTK not be used for new projects and that existing
|
||
applications be ported from PyGTK to PyGObject.
|
||
|
||
Kivy
|
||
----
|
||
`Kivy <http://kivy.org>`_ is a Python library for development of multi-touch
|
||
enabled media rich applications. The aim is to allow for quick and easy
|
||
interaction design and rapid prototyping, while making your code reusable
|
||
and deployable.
|
||
|
||
Kivy is written in Python, based on OpenGL and supports different input devices
|
||
such as: Mouse, Dual Mouse, TUIO, WiiMote, WM_TOUCH, HIDtouch, Apple's products
|
||
and so on.
|
||
|
||
Kivy is actively being developed by a community and is free to use. It operates
|
||
on all major platforms (Linux, OSX, Windows, Android).
|
||
|
||
The main resource for information is the website: http://kivy.org
|
||
|
||
PyObjC
|
||
------
|
||
.. note:: Only available on OS X. Don't pick this if you're writing a cross-platform application.
|
||
|
||
PySide
|
||
------
|
||
PySide is a Python binding of the cross-platform GUI toolkit Qt.
|
||
|
||
pip install pyside
|
||
|
||
https://wiki.qt.io/Category:LanguageBindings::PySide::Downloads
|
||
|
||
PyQt
|
||
----
|
||
.. note:: If your software does not fully comply with the GPL you will need a commercial license!
|
||
|
||
PyQt provides Python bindings for the Qt Framework (see below).

||
PyjamasDesktop (pyjs Desktop)
|
||
-----------------------------
|
||
PyjamasDesktop is a port of Pyjamas. PyjamasDesktop is application widget set
|
||
for desktop and a cross-platform framework. (After release v0.6 PyjamasDesktop
|
||
is a part of Pyjamas (Pyjs)). Briefly, it allows the exact same Python web
|
||
application source code to be executed as a standalone desktop application.
|
||
|
||
`Python Wiki for PyjamasDesktop <http://wiki.python.org/moin/PyjamasDesktop>`_.
|
||
|
||
The main website; `pyjs Desktop <http://pyjs.org/>`_.
|
||
|
||
Qt
|
||
--
|
||
`Qt <http://qt-project.org/>`_ is a cross-platform application framework that
|
||
is widely used for developing software with a GUI but can also be used for
|
||
non-GUI applications.
|
||
|
||
Tk
|
||
--
|
||
Tkinter is a thin object-oriented layer on top of Tcl/Tk. **It has the advantage
|
||
of being included with the Python standard library, making it the most
|
||
convenient and compatible toolkit to program with.**
|
||
|
||
Both Tk and Tkinter are available on most Unix platforms, as well as on Windows
|
||
and Macintosh systems. Starting with the 8.0 release, Tk offers native look and
|
||
feel on all platforms.
|
||
|
||
There's a good multi-language Tk tutorial with Python examples at
|
||
`TkDocs <http://www.tkdocs.com/tutorial/index.html>`_. There's more information
|
||
available on the `Python Wiki <http://wiki.python.org/moin/TkInter>`_.
|
||
|
||
wxPython
|
||
--------
|
||
wxPython is a GUI toolkit for the Python programming language. It allows
|
||
Python programmers to create programs with a robust, highly functional
|
||
graphical user interface, simply and easily. It is implemented as a Python
|
||
extension module (native code) that wraps the popular wxWidgets cross platform
|
||
GUI library, which is written in C++.
|
||
|
||
**Install (Stable) wxPython**
|
||
*go to http://www.wxpython.org/download.php#stable and download the appropriate
|
||
package for your OS.*
