A Python native, OS native GUI toolkit.
- 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+.
- 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.
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 / Debian 8
apt-get install python3-gi gir1.2-webkit2-4.0orapt-get install python3-gi gir1.2-webkit-3.0 - Fedora
dnf install python3-gobject pywebkitgtkoryum install python3-gobject pywebkitgtk - Arch Linux
pacman -S python-gobject webkit2gtk
Other distros should be similar, but feel free to send a pull request with updated dependencies if needed.
If these requirements aren't met, Toga either won't work at all, or won't have full functionality.
To get a demonstration of the capabilities of Toga, run the following:
$ pip install toga-demo $ toga-demo
This will pop up a GUI window with some sample widgets.
Documentation for Toga can be found on Read The Docs.
