Cocoa
|
|
-----

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)
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
*Go to http://www.wxpython.org/download.php#stable and download the appropriate
|
|
package for your OS.*

|
|
|
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 currenty supports the Gtk-2.X API (NOT Gtk-3.0). It is currently
|
|
recommended that PyGTK is not used for new projects and existing applications
|
|
be ported from PyGTK to PyGObject.
|
|
|
|
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>`_.

Kivy
|
|
----
|
|
Kivy 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 free to use. It operates on all major platforms (Linux, OSX, Windows, Android).
