Kivy is a free and open source Python framework for developing mobile apps and other multitouch application software with a natural user interface (NUI). It is distributed under the terms of the MIT License, and can run on Android, iOS, GNU/Linux, macOS, and Windows.
Kivy is the main framework developed by the Kivy organization,[3] alongside Python for Android,[4] Kivy iOS,[5] and several other libraries meant to be used on all platforms. In 2012, Kivy got a $5000 grant from the Python Software Foundation for porting it to Python 3.3.[6] Kivy also supports the Raspberry Pi which was funded through Bountysource.[7]
The framework contains all the elements for building an application such as:
- extensive input support for mouse, keyboard, TUIO, and OS-specific multitouch events,
- a graphic library using only OpenGL ES 2, and based on Vertex Buffer Object and shaders,
- a wide range of widgets that support multitouch,
- an intermediate language (Kv)[8] used to easily design custom widgets.
Kivy is the evolution of the PyMT project, and is recommended for new projects.[9]
