Introduction
|
||
|
|
------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Kivy is a Python library for development of multi-touch enabled media rich
|
||
|
|
applications. The aim is to allow for quick and easy interaction design and
|
||
|
|
rapid prototyping, while making your code reusable and deployable.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Kivy is written in Python and Cython, based on OpenGL ES 2, supports various
|
||
|
|
input devices and have an extensive widgets library. With the same codebase,
|
||
|
|
you can target Windows, OSX, Linux, Android and iOS. All our widgets are built
|
||
|
|
with multitouch support.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Kivy is MIT licensed, actively developed by a great community, as well as all
|
||
|
|
the projects managed by the Kivy organisation.
