-Other Graphical User Interface Packages
-=======================================
-
-Major cross-platform (Windows, macOS, 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 macOS. :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, macOS, 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.
