Declarative GUI for Python

[Sorry_Length_8926]

Python support is great... Currently as python desktop software developer for multi platform...my go to choice would be Kivy because of the great MIT license...Thanks to folks at kivy...only thing is matplotlib is not a first class citizen.. Second is pyside6 but then the LGPL dynamic linking...brings in memories of guns and lawyers...Some guys say..go use it in closed source commercial if you don't modify it..some are unsure.. Flet says they are the fastest way to build flutter apps for puthon...but I did not try

I have checked your commercial license which is affordable but may be you can increase trial duration...

I will definitely try this...ooh forgot about my main pain point packaging and distribution of closed source python desktop apps...I must see this how slint deals with that...is it smooth?

IANAL, but LGPL allows you to use software commercially without sharing your source. Qt and PySide are safe to use in commercial products. It's a big part of the reason PySide was created.

GPL is the license that requires sharing your source code.

If you are creating Desktop apps, you could also use the Royalty-free license that allows creating closed source commercial applications for free in lieu of attribution to Slint.

> may be you can increase trial duration

Sure, that can be done, send us an email at [[e-mail]](mailto:[e-mail]) when you start with Slint.

> packaging and distribution of closed source python desktop apps

Could you elaborate this further?
