mantipy-gui

Modern GUI framework for Python that bridges the gap between web technologies and native applications.

🧠 Why mantipy-gui?

mantipy-gui solves the real pain points in Python GUI development:

🔥 1. Modern UI Without JS Framework Hell

• Use any HTML/JS frontend: React, Svelte, HTMX, or plain HTML
• Embed it into a native Python window, without Electron bloat
• Full JavaScript, CSS, video, canvas support — because it's Chromium

🧩 2. Native App Logic in Python

• Button clicks, IPC, data processing — all in Python
• Your whole backend and frontend in one language

🌐 3. Pluggable DNS Resolution

• Support .evr, .dao, .ipfs, .lnbtc, or your custom protocol
• A single function hook makes your browser/app future-ready

🛠️ 4. Customizable UI Layout

• Native widgets (sidebars, tabs, console) can live beside the browser
• Build apps, not just websites

🧪 5. Perfect for Local-first, Decentralized, and dApp UIs

• Build powerful offline tools with web interfaces
• Native .evr access with no DNS hacks
• Self-contained IPFS-UI frontends

Installation

pip install mantipy-gui

Quick Start

from mantipy_gui import Window, BrowserView

app = Window(title="My Mantipy App")
browser = BrowserView()
app.add_view(browser)

# Load from URL
browser.load("https://example.com")

# Load local HTML
browser.load_html("<h1>Hello from Mantipy!</h1>")

# Custom domain resolution
@browser.resolver(".evr")
def resolve_evr(domain):
    # Your custom resolver for .evr domains
    return f"https://ipfs.io/ipfs/your-hash"

app.run()
