Toga

A Python native, OS native GUI toolkit.

Prerequisites

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 and development files for GTK+.

  • Ubuntu 16.04 / Debian 9 sudo apt-get install python3-dev python3-gi python3-gi-cairo libgirepository1.0-dev libcairo2-dev libwebkitgtk-3.0-0 gir1.2-webkit2-3.0

  • Ubuntu 18.04 / Debian 10 sudo apt-get install python3-dev python3-gi python3-gi-cairo libgirepository1.0-dev libcairo2-dev libwebkitgtk-4.0-37 gir1.2-webkit2-4.0

  • Fedora sudo dnf install pygobject3 python3-gobject python3-cairo-devel cairo-gobject-devel gobject-introspection-devel pywebkitgtk

  • Arch / Manjaro sudo pacman -Syu git pkgconf cairo python-cairo pango gobject-introspection gobject-introspection-runtime python-gobject webkit2gtk

• We’re working on Windows support, but not all features and widgets are supported. At a minimum, you’ll need Python 3 and .NET Framework 4. This has been tested on Windows 10, but should work on 7 and 8. Pull requests, help and corrections are most welcome.

Quickstart

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

$ pip install --pre toga-demo

This will pop up a GUI window with some sample widgets.
