Other Graphical User Interface Packages
|
|
=======================================
|
|
|
|
Major cross-platform (Windows, Mac OS X, Unix-like) GUI toolkits are
|
|
available for Python:
|
|
|
|
.. seealso::
|
|
|
|
`PyGObject <https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/PyGObject>`_
|
|
PyGObject provides introspection bindings for C libraries using
|
|
`GObject <https://developer.gnome.org/gobject/stable/>`_. One of
|
|
these libraries is the `GTK+ 3 <https://www.gtk.org/>`_ widget set.
|
|
GTK+ comes with many more widgets than Tkinter provides. An online
|
|
`Python GTK+ 3 Tutorial <https://python-gtk-3-tutorial.readthedocs.io/>`_
|
|
is available.
|
|
|
|
`PyGTK <http://www.pygtk.org/>`_
|
|
PyGTK provides bindings for an older version
|
|
of the library, GTK+ 2. It provides an object oriented interface that
|
|
is slightly higher level than the C one. There are also bindings to
|
|
`GNOME <https://www.gnome.org/>`_. An online `tutorial
|
|
<http://www.pygtk.org/pygtk2tutorial/index.html>`_ is available.
|
|
|
|
`PyQt <https://riverbankcomputing.com/software/pyqt/intro>`_
|
|
PyQt is a :program:`sip`\ -wrapped binding to the Qt toolkit. Qt is an
|
|
extensive C++ GUI application development framework that is
|
|
available for Unix, Windows and Mac OS X. :program:`sip` is a tool
|
|
for generating bindings for C++ libraries as Python classes, and
|
|
is specifically designed for Python.
|
|
|
|
`PySide2 <https://doc.qt.io/qtforpython/>`_
|
|
Also known as the Qt for Python project, PySide2 is a newer binding to the
|
|
Qt toolkit. It is provided by The Qt Company and aims to provide a
|
|
complete port of PySide to Qt 5. Compared to PyQt, its licensing scheme is
|
|
friendlier to non-open source applications.
|
|
|
|
`wxPython <https://www.wxpython.org>`_
|
|
wxPython is a cross-platform GUI toolkit for Python that is built around
|
|
the popular `wxWidgets <https://www.wxwidgets.org/>`_ (formerly wxWindows)
|
|
C++ toolkit. It provides a native look and feel for applications on
|
|
Windows, Mac OS X, and Unix systems by using each platform's native
|
|
widgets where ever possible, (GTK+ on Unix-like systems). In addition to
|
|
an extensive set of widgets, wxPython provides classes for online
|
|
documentation and context sensitive help, printing, HTML viewing,
|
|
low-level device context drawing, drag and drop, system clipboard access,
|
|
an XML-based resource format and more, including an ever growing library
|
|
of user-contributed modules.
|
|
|
|
PyGTK, PyQt, PySide2, and wxPython, all have a modern look and feel and more
|
|
widgets than Tkinter. In addition, there are many other GUI toolkits for
|
|
Python, both cross-platform, and platform-specific. See the `GUI Programming
|
|
<https://wiki.python.org/moin/GuiProgramming>`_ page in the Python Wiki for a
|
|
much more complete list, and also for links to documents where the
|
|
different GUI toolkits are compared.
