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

|
||
|
||
.. note:: PyGTK provides Python bindings for the GTK+ toolkit. However, it has been superseded by PyGObject. PyGTK should not be used for new projects and existing projects should be ported to PyGObject.
|
||

********************
|
||
PyGObject aka (PyGi)
|
||
********************
|
||
|
||
`PyGObject <https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/PyGObject>`_ provides Python
|
||
bindings which gives access to the entire GNOME software platform. It is fully
|
||
compatible with GTK+ 3. Here is a tutorial to get started with `Python GTK+ 3
|
||
Tutorial <https://python-gtk-3-tutorial.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>`_.

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, OS X, Windows, Android).
|
||
|
||
The main resource for information is the website: http://kivy.org

|
||
PySide
|
||
******
|
||
|
||
PySide is a Python binding of the cross-platform GUI toolkit Qt.
|
||
The package name depends on the major Qt version (`PySide` for Qt4,
|
||
`PySide2` for Qt5, and `PySide6` for Qt6).
|
||
This set of bindings is developed by `The Qt Company <https://qt.io>`_.
|
||
|
||
.. code-block:: console
|
||
|
||
$ pip install pyside6
|
||
|
||
https://pyside.org

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).

***************************************
|
||
Pyjs Desktop (formerly Pyjamas Desktop)
|
||
***************************************
|
||
|
||
Pyjs Desktop is a application widget set for desktop and a cross-platform
|
||
framework. It allows the exact same Python web application source code to be
|
||
executed as a standalone desktop application.
|
||
|
||
|
||
The main website: `pyjs <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.
|
||
|
||
|
||
***********
|
||
PySimpleGUI
|
||
***********
|
||
|
||
`PySimpleGUI <https://pysimplegui.readthedocs.io/>`_ is a wrapper for Tkinter
|
||
and Qt (others on the way). The amount of code required to implement custom
|
||
GUIs is much shorter using PySimpleGUI than if the same GUI were written
|
||
directly using Tkinter or Qt. PySimpleGUI code can be "ported" between GUI
|
||
frameworks by changing import statements.
|
||
|
||
.. code-block:: console
|
||
|
||
$ pip install pysimplegui
|
||
|
||
PySimpleGUI is contained in a single PySimpleGUI.py file. Should pip
|
||
installation be impossible, copying the PySimpleGUI.py file into a project's
|
||
folder is all that's required to import and begin using.
|
||
|
||
|
||
****
|
||
Toga
|
||
****
|
||
|
||
`Toga <https://toga.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>`_ is a Python native, OS native,
|
||
cross platform GUI toolkit. Toga consists of a library of base components with a
|
||
shared interface to simplify platform-agnostic GUI development.
|
||
|
||
Toga is available on macOS, Windows, Linux (GTK), and mobile platforms such as
|
||
Android and iOS.
|
||
|
||
|
||
**
|
||
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 https://www.wxpython.org/pages/downloads/ and download the appropriate
|
||
package for your OS.*
