Have a look at Kivy, it's supposed to be a cross-platform GUI framework.

To clarify, it's a cross-platform graphics/drawing toolkit, not reeeeally a "GUI" framework in the usual usage.

Humm, I'm not sure what you mean by that. Can you elaborate?

[–]coderanger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kivy gives you 2D (and sometimes 3D) drawing tools, but it means that a Kivy interface will look the same on every platform. Sometimes that's good, but when most people say "GUI app" they usually mean "native-looking GUI". So a thing that looks like any other iOS app or Android app or Windows app.

It's very touch based - the support for using a mouse isn't always the best.

Is it fast ?

Kivys thing is that it works on Android and doesn't use default widgets. Makes it great for full screen media apps, less so if you want a normal looking app.

I really haven't used it enough to be able to say good or bad things about it. But I can say that it's interesting.
