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 currently supports the Gtk-2.X API (NOT Gtk-3.0). It is currently
|
|
recommended that PyGTK not be 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 <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 free to use. It operates
|
|
on all major platforms (Linux, OSX, Windows, Android).

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.

Camelot
|
|
-------
|
|
`Camelot <http://www.python-camelot.com>`_ provides components for building
|
|
business applications on top of Python, SQLAlchemy and Qt. It is inspired by
|
|
the Django admin interface.
|
|

|
You can use Camelot to develop both simple and complex business applications
|
|
at warp speed.
