Goals of the Project:

• To develop a useable Python wrapper for the C++ FLTK library.
• To demonstrate the wrapper's functionality by converting the test programs supplied with FLTK to Python.
• To provide cross platform support (Linux, Windows, MacOS, Raspberry Pi OS) of the Python wrapper

Main Features:

• Cross platform GUI toolkit (Windows, Linux, MacOS, Raspberry Pi OS)
• Easily deployable using py2exe.
• Small footprint as compared to other toolkits.
• Combines the efficiency and speed of C++ FLTK with the rapid development of Python

pyFltk 1.4

Status :

This is the current stable branch. This version requires C++ FLTK 1.4.x and pyFltk 1.4.x Therefore, both FLTK and pyFltk must be installed on macOS and Linux systems since shared libraries are utilized. Windows systems only require pyFltk as it's built statically.

Todo:

The items left are:

• Convert test programs
• Test and fix any bugs
• Test all widgets and functions work properly in 1.4

pyFltk 1.3.9

Status :

This is the old stable branch. Work on this branch is now mostly suspended except for critical bugs so that we may focus on the current stable 1.4 branch.
