A Python native, OS native GUI toolkit.

A Python native, OS native GUI toolkit.

Prerequisites

Toga has some minimum requirements:

• Toga requires Python 3. Python 2 is not supported.

• If you’re on macOS, you need to be on 10.7 (Lion) or newer.

• If you’re on Linux, you need to have GTK+ 3.10 or later. This is the version that ships starting with Ubuntu 14.04 and Fedora 20. You also need to install the Python 3 bindings to GTK+. If you want to use the WebView widget, you’ll also need to have WebKit, plus the GI bindings to WebKit installed. This means you’ll need to install the following:

  • Ubuntu 14.04 apt-get install python3-gi gir1.2-webkit-3.0

  • Ubuntu 16.04 apt-get install python3-gi gir1.2-webkit-4.0 or apt-get install python3-gi gir1.2-webkit-3.0

  • Debian ??

  • Fedora dnf install python3-gobject pywebkitgtk or yum install python3-gobject pywebkitgtk

If these requirements aren’t met, Toga either won’t work at all, or won’t have full functionality.

Quickstart

To get a demonstration of the capabilities of Toga, run the following:
