Open Source Python User Interface (UI) Software for Linux

Kivy is an open source, cross-platform UI framework that lets you develop applications that make use of innovative, multi-touch user interfaces. Written in Python with a graphics engine built over OpenGL ES 2, Kivy supports various input devices and protocols, and gives you access to over 20 widgets that are all highly extensible and have built-in multi-touch support. You can run the same codebase on Mac, Windows, Linux, Android and iOS. Kivy is 100% free and open source with a professionally developed and used toolkit, as well as a stable framework and well-documented API, so you can be confident in using it in a commercial product.

ZK is an open-source Java framework for building modern web and mobile applications. It enables developers to create rich, interactive UIs using only Java — no JavaScript required. With 200+ Ajax-powered components, event-driven architecture, and support for popular technologies like Spring, Java EE, and JSP/JSF, ZK makes it simple to deliver powerful and user-friendly web applications.

Dash is a Python framework for building beautiful analytical web applications without any JavaScript. Built on top of Plotly.js, React and Flask, Dash easily achieves what an entire team of designers and engineers normally would. It ties modern UI controls and displays such as dropdown menus, sliders and graphs directly to your analytical Python code, and creates exceptional, interactive analytics apps. Dash apps are very lightweight, requiring only a limited number of lines of Python or R code; and every aesthetic element can be customized and rendered in the web. It’s also not just for dashboards. You have full control over the look and feel of your apps, so you can style them to look any way you want.

ACDK - Artefaktur Component Development Kit - is a platform independent C++-framework similar to Java or C#/.NET for generating distributed and scriptable components and applications.

Chapman is a modern, model-view-controller based gui component framework developed in python, inspired by Smalltalk's VisualWorks framework.

Cimarrón is an application development framework which uses the MVC pattern as its basis. Note that while cimarrón provides both View's and some Controller's, it does not Provide any Model, leaving the developer the posibility to choose it freely.

Django REST framework is a powerful and flexible toolkit for building Web APIs. Some reasons you might want to use REST framework: The Web browsable API is a huge usability win for your developers. Authentication policies including packages for OAuth1a and OAuth2. Serialization that supports both ORM and non-ORM data sources. Customizable all the way down - just use regular function-based views if you don't need the more powerful features. Extensive documentation, and great community support. Used and trusted by internationally recognised companies including Mozilla, Red Hat, Heroku, and Eventbrite. REST framework is a collaboratively funded project. If you use REST framework commercially we strongly encourage you to invest in its continued development by signing up for a paid plan.

Firmata is a generic protocol for communicating with microcontrollers from software on a host computer. It is intended to work with any host computer software package. There are implementations for multiple microcontrollers and host software packages.

HumbleUI is a lightweight, declarative, and composable UI framework, likely intended for building graphical user interfaces in a minimal, modular way. It emphasizes ease of use, customization, and modular components. (Note: while there is a repository, I did not find a detailed README in my search to fully confirm all capabilities.) Electron is a great landmark. Normal shortcuts, icon, its own window, file system access, notifications, OS integrations. Write once, run everywhere is no longer rejected by users. Performant enough not to noticeably lag.

Instigate GUI Toolkit is an Abstraction for multiple GUI Toolkits allowing to write single GUI code which can run on multiple platforms and with multiple GUI back-ends. Now it supports QT and gtkmm back-ends on Linux. Work on GTK+ and EWL is ongoing.

InterPython (stands Python InterOperability) is a .NET library that allows a python interpreter to be "embedded" in your .NET programs, and gives you (almost) transparent access to python libraries and services in .NET programs. Great for GUIs, etc.

You assemble *blocks* in your django template, with each block wired to a tastypie resource, which in turn is mapped to a django model. Each *block* will reside in a dijit ContentPane which you must define in your template. You have a choice of 2 layouts for each *block*, Form or Grid based. Form displays a single record in either a 1, 2 or 3 column layout while Grid displays many rows in a spreadsheet like grid. You can perform edits in place on fields in both layouts. You can define the master-detail relationship between the *blocks* and enblok will automatically display the related detail *block* rows as the user navigates the master *block*'s rows. You get for free the default *CRUD* functionality for each block, together with Search. You are not limited to just a 2 level master-detail relationship, in fact enblok can support n-th level relationships but we do not advise you to go beyond 3. Read the distribution's enblok/readme.txt for further instructions.

Objective-C bindings for GTK+ library

The PyQt4D (Python Qt for Designer) is an Open Source Project making Qt Designer full-featured RAD (Rapid Application Development) tool to develop data-aware two- or multi-tier applications using Python language and Qt library.

Pyjamas-Desktop is the Desktop version of the Pyjamas Web Widget toolkit. Pyjamas-Desktop can even execute javascript, and embed plugins such as Flash. Pyjamas-Desktop is now part of http://pyjs.org

QxTransformer is no longer maintained.

Wooey is a simple web interface to run command line Python scripts. Think of it as an easy way to get your scripts up on the web for routine data analysis, file processing, or anything else. The project was inspired by how simply and powerfully sandman could expose users to a database and by how Gooey turns ArgumentParser-based command-line scripts into WxWidgets GUIs. Originally two separate projects (Django-based djangui by Chris Mitchell and Flask-based Wooey by Martin Fitzpatrick) it has been merged to combine our efforts. Enable the easy wrapping of any program in simple python instead of having to use language specific to existing tools such as Galaxy. Enable fellow lab members with no command line experience to utilize python scripts. Autodocument workflows for data analysis (simple model saving).

An environment (library + IDE) that emulates Delphi but uses python as the programming language and wxPython as the graphical API. Starting with the library, we have a set of modules/classes that emulates the units/classes of the famous VCL.

dynamide is a dynamic web application framework for handling the presentation and business layers in a traditional web app. See http://dynamide.com

dynoparse (dynamic option parser) is a python package that implements a flexible and configurable way for cli option handling.

nJES is a complete CPython rewrite of JES (Jython Environment for Students), originally written by Mark Guzdial and Barbara Ericson. The primary objective of the rewrite is to enhance performance while maintaining full forward compatibility with JES.

wxBrowser is an application browser based on the wxWidgets GUI framework. It's similar to a regular old web browser only, instead of reading HTML and displaying content it reads XML and executes presentation logic (wxPython) in a client side application.

Yet another (different) framework. Examples around Apache Cayenne. Using different technologies like Apache CXF Google Web Toolkit EJB Apache Wicket Eclipse RCP Java ANSI C Perl Python Bash WE MOVED TO GITHUB.COM !! All sources are now in git on github.com - search for yafra project. Thanks sf.net for the very good service in the past - but now it was time to move on!
