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.

In Linux, extra packages are needed if you want to: 1. Use the WebView widget 2. Use Toga inside a Virtual Environment

• Ubuntu / Debian sudo apt-get install python3-gi python3-gi-cairo gir1.2-gtk-3.0 gir1.2-webkit2-4.0 libgirepository1.0-dev Note: for Ubuntu 14.04 install gir1.2-webkit-3.0 instead of gir1.2-webkit-4.0
• Fedora sudo dnf install pygobject3 python3-gobject pywebkitgtk python3-cairo-devel cairo-gobject-devel gobject-introspection-devel or sudo yum install pygobject3 python3-gobject pywebkitgtk python3-cairo-devel cairo-gobject-devel gobject-introspection-devel
• Arch Linux sudo pacman -S python-gobject webkit2gtk gobject-introspection

Other distros should be similar, but feel free to send a pull request with updated dependencies if needed.

If you are going to use Toga inside a Virtual Environment, you need to install pycairo and pygobject (in that order) in the virtualenv first:

$ pip install pycairo
$ pip install pygobject

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.

Toga is part of the BeeWare suite. You can talk to the community through:

• @pybeeware on Twitter
• The pybee/general channel on Gitter.
