Other Graphical User Interface Packages
***************************************

Major cross-platform (Windows, Mac OS X, Unix-like) GUI toolkits are
available for Python:

See also:

  PyGObject
     PyGObject provides introspection bindings for C libraries using
     GObject.  One of these libraries is the GTK+ 3 widget set. GTK+
     comes with many more widgets than Tkinter provides.  An online
     Python GTK+ 3 Tutorial is available.

  PyGTK
     PyGTK provides bindings for an older version of the library, GTK+
     2.  It provides an object oriented interface that is slightly
     higher level than the C one.  There are also bindings to GNOME.
     An online tutorial is available.

  PyQt
     PyQt is a **sip**-wrapped binding to the Qt toolkit.  Qt is an
     extensive C++ GUI application development framework that is
     available for Unix, Windows and Mac OS X. **sip** is a tool for
     generating bindings for C++ libraries as Python classes, and is
     specifically designed for Python.

  PySide2
     Also known as the Qt for Python project, PySide2 is a newer
     binding to the Qt toolkit. It is provided by The Qt Company and
     aims to provide a complete port of PySide to Qt 5. Compared to
     PyQt, its licensing scheme is friendlier to non-open source
     applications.

  wxPython
     wxPython is a cross-platform GUI toolkit for Python that is built
     around the popular wxWidgets (formerly wxWindows) C++ toolkit.
     It provides a native look and feel for applications on Windows,
     Mac OS X, and Unix systems by using each platform’s native
     widgets where ever possible, (GTK+ on Unix-like systems).  In
     addition to an extensive set of widgets, wxPython provides
     classes for online documentation and context sensitive help,
     printing, HTML viewing, low-level device context drawing, drag
     and drop, system clipboard access, an XML-based resource format
     and more, including an ever growing library of user-contributed
     modules.

PyGTK, PyQt, PySide2, and wxPython, all have a modern look and feel
and more widgets than Tkinter. In addition, there are many other GUI
toolkits for Python, both cross-platform, and platform-specific. See
the GUI Programming page in the Python Wiki for a much more complete
list, and also for links to documents where the different GUI toolkits
are compared.
