celestine 2024.6.9

A python framework for desktop applications.

A python framework for desktop applications. Featuring support for multiple graphical user interfaces. Localized for members of the European Union.

About

The only requirement is Python. However, you can install additional packages for extended functionality.

This has also been designed to run as a Blender Add-on! Note that Blender is an isolated environment, so other packages can not be used with it.

Project Update

It seems that every release is broken in some form or another. My plan of “just fix everything and then release it” has not been working out. My new realization is that, since this is still in Alpha, it is okay that it is not perfect. So I’m going to be releasing it “AS IS” for a while until Beta, where everything should be functioning as expected. (The idea being that pushing out a semi-working package is better then leaving up a totaly broken package.)

Curently “pillow” and “platformdirs” are required dependencies because I have not made the workarounds yet. Blender just dropped support for Python 3.10 and so I am going to be as well. I would have liked to have a functioning Python 3.10 version so anyone who downloads this wont get errors, but it just hasn’t happened yet.

In todays build, only pygame and tkinter are fully functional, using the “demo” and “viewer” applications. (Unless there is another issue with the font file, then pygame wont work.) Blender fails because it can’t find the Pillow package, and it was having issues drawing images properly anyways. Curses was having issues with windows-curses for a while, so I have not worked on it recently. The DearPyGui Package seems to be nearly abandoned so I have not spent the time keeping it up to date.
