Description: # Plyer

Plyer is a platform-independent api to use features commonly found on various platforms, notably mobile ones, in Python.

## How

Plyer tries not to reinvent the wheel, and will call for external libraries to implement the api in the easiest way, depending on the current platform.

  • on python-for-android, pyjnius is used

  • on kivy-ios, pyobjus is used

  • on windows/mac/linux, commonly found libraries and programs will be used
