Kivy: The Open Source Python App Development Framework. Build and distribute beautiful Python cross-platform GUI apps with ease. Kivy runs on Android, iOS, Linux, macOS and Windows.
Kivy is an open source software library for the rapid development of applications equipped with novel user interfaces, such as multi-touch apps. We recommend that you get started with Getting Started.
The easiest way to install Kivy is with pip, which installs Kivy using either a pre-compiled wheel, if available, otherwise from source (see below). Kivy provides pre-compiled wheels for the supported Python versions on Windows, macOS, Linux, and RPi.

Kivy depends on many libraries, such as SDL2, gstreamer, PIL, Cairo, and more. They are not all required, but depending on the platform you’re working on, they can be a pain to install.
