Introduction to Kivy; A Cross-platform Python Framework
In this article, we will learn about Kivy framework and its installation. Kivy is a GUI based application interface, open-source that helps in cross-platform applications for Windows, Linux and Mac.
Installation Guide
Firstly we need to install python on pc.
After that we need to install the dependencies −
Windows −
>>> python -m pip install docutils pygments pypiwin32kivy.deps.sdl2 kivy.deps.glew >>> python -m pip install kivy.deps.gstreamer >>> python -m pip install kivy.deps.angle
Linux −
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kivy-team/kivy
Installing the Kivy file
Windows −
>>> python -m pip install kivy
Linux −
>>> sudo apt-get install python3-kivy
Now let’s see how we can make a graphical user interface using Kivy −
Example
import kivy
kivy.require('1.10.0')
from kivy.app import App # gui interface creator
from kivy.uix.button import Label # button label import statement
class Sample(App):
# display content on screen
def build(self):
# Return a label widget with Sample
return Label(text ="Tutorialpoint")
sample = Sample()
sample.run()Output
A new window popup will be displayed with the title of Sample containing text “Tutorialspoint” in it .
A window popup will be observed on the screen
In this manner we can use Kivy to create a GUI badsed application in Python
