Toga

https://beekeeper.beeware.org/projects/beeware/batavia/shield

A Python native, OS native GUI toolkit.

Prerequisites

Minimum requirements

  • Toga requires Python 3. Python 2 is not supported.
  • If you're on macOS, you need to be on 10.7 (Lion) or newer.
  • If you're on Linux, you need to have GTK+ 3.10 or later. This is the version that ships starting with Ubuntu 14.04 and Fedora 20. You also need to install the Python 3 bindings and development files for GTK+.
    • Ubuntu / Debian sudo apt-get install python3-dev python3-gi python3-gi-cairo gir1.2-gtk-3.0 libgirepository1.0-dev libcairo2-dev
    • Fedora sudo dnf install pygobject3 python3-gobject python3-cairo-devel cairo-gobject-devel gobject-introspection-devel or sudo yum install pygobject3 python3-gobject python3-cairo-devel cairo-gobject-devel gobject-introspection-devel
    • Arch Linux sudo pacman -S gobject-introspection
  • We're working on Windows support, but not all features and widgets are supported. At a minimum, you'll need Python 3 and .NET Framework 4. This has been tested on Windows 10, but should work on 7 and 8. Pull requests, help and corrections are most welcome.

Optional extras for Linux

In Linux, extra packages are needed if you want to use the WebView widget:

  • Ubuntu / Debian sudo apt-get install gir1.2-webkit2-4.0 Note: for Ubuntu 14.04 install gir1.2-webkit-3.0 instead of gir1.2-webkit-4.0
  • Fedora sudo dnf install pywebkitgtk or sudo yum install pywebkitgtk
  • Arch Linux sudo pacman -S webkit2gtk

Quickstart

To get a demonstration of the capabilities of Toga, run the following:

$ pip install toga-demo
$ toga-demo

This will pop up a GUI window with some sample widgets.
