Introduction
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Kivy is a Python framework for the development of multi-touch enabled media rich
|
|
applications. The aim is to allow for quick and easy interaction design and
|
|
rapid prototyping whilst making your code reusable and deployable.
|
|
|
|
Kivy is written in Python and Cython, based on OpenGL ES 2, supports various
|
|
input devices and has an extensive widget 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 and is supported
|
|
by many projects managed by the Kivy organisation.
