-What platform-independent GUI toolkits exist for Python?
-========================================================
-
-Depending on what platform(s) you are aiming at, there are several.  Some
-of them haven't been ported to Python 3 yet.  At least `Tkinter`_ and `Qt`_
-are known to be Python 3-compatible.

 Mac OS X, Windows, and Unix platforms.
 
-wxWidgets
----------
-
-wxWidgets (https://www.wxwidgets.org) is a free, portable GUI class
-library written in C++ that provides a native look and feel on a
-number of platforms, with Windows, Mac OS X, GTK, X11, all listed as
-current stable targets.  Language bindings are available for a number
-of languages including Python, Perl, Ruby, etc.
-
-`wxPython <https://www.wxpython.org>`_ is the Python binding for
-wxwidgets.  While it often lags slightly behind the official wxWidgets
-releases, it also offers a number of features via pure Python
-extensions that are not available in other language bindings.  There
-is an active wxPython user and developer community.
-
-Both wxWidgets and wxPython are free, open source, software with
-permissive licences that allow their use in commercial products as
-well as in freeware or shareware.
-
-
-Qt
----
-
-There are bindings available for the Qt toolkit (using either `PyQt
-<https://riverbankcomputing.com/software/pyqt/intro>`_ or `PySide
-<https://wiki.qt.io/PySide>`_) and for KDE (`PyKDE4 <https://techbase.kde.org/Languages/Python/Using_PyKDE_4>`__).
-PyQt is currently more mature than PySide, but you must buy a PyQt license from
-`Riverbank Computing <https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/commercial/license-faq>`_
-if you want to write proprietary applications.  PySide is free for all applications.
-
-Qt 4.5 upwards is licensed under the LGPL license; also, commercial licenses
-are available from `The Qt Company <https://www.qt.io/licensing/>`_.
-
-Gtk+
-----
-
-The `GObject introspection bindings <https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/PyGObject>`_
-for Python allow you to write GTK+ 3 applications.  There is also a
-`Python GTK+ 3 Tutorial <https://python-gtk-3-tutorial.readthedocs.io>`_.
-
-The older PyGtk bindings for the `Gtk+ 2 toolkit <https://www.gtk.org>`_ have
-been implemented by James Henstridge; see <http://www.pygtk.org>.
-
-Kivy
-----
-
-`Kivy <https://kivy.org/>`_ is a cross-platform GUI library supporting both
-desktop operating systems (Windows, macOS, Linux) and mobile devices (Android,
-iOS).  It is written in Python and Cython, and can use a range of windowing
-backends.
-
-Kivy is free and open source software distributed under the MIT license.
-
-FLTK
-----
-
-Python bindings for `the FLTK toolkit <http://www.fltk.org>`_, a simple yet
-powerful and mature cross-platform windowing system, are available from `the
-PyFLTK project <https://pyfltk.sourceforge.io/>`_.
-
-OpenGL
-------
-
-For OpenGL bindings, see `PyOpenGL <http://pyopengl.sourceforge.net>`_.
-
-
-What platform-specific GUI toolkits exist for Python?
-========================================================
-
-By installing the `PyObjc Objective-C bridge
-<https://pypi.org/project/pyobjc/>`_, Python programs can use Mac OS X's
-Cocoa libraries.
-
-:ref:`Pythonwin <windows-faq>` by Mark Hammond includes an interface to the
-Microsoft Foundation Classes and a Python programming environment
-that's written mostly in Python using the MFC classes.

-   `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.
