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.
