The full standard library is a work in progress; at the moment, there's only a couple of key parts of sys, os, and the like. But Ouroboros ( https://github.com/pybee/ouroboros ) is…

Good news on the generator front - VOC fully supports generators, lambdas, passing functions as arguments, and all sorts of things that Python allows but Java (the language) doesn'…

If you want a smaller target, VOC ( http://pybee.org/voc ) can generate a "Hello World" APK in about 1.6MB. VOC is compiler that takes Python code, and output Java bytecode. This m…

AFAIK, Plyer will give you access to native APIs like accelerometers, but not to the native GUI layer. An alternative approach is VOC ( http://pybee.org/voc ) - this is compiler th…

The primary difficulty is that JNI is really limited on Android. It exists, but it's really slow, and there are some hard limits imposed at the kernel level. An alternative approac…

Erm... RTD does none of those things. There's a default site theme that is specific to RTD - they don't try to impersonate anyone. They don't "lift" anything unless the project own…

Why you put Read The Docs in the same category? RTD doesn't host anything unless you specifically set up an account and say you want to use them. They don't troll the web looking f…

The Fellow's immediate reporting chain is to a subcommittee of the DSF. Effectively, they're "working" for the DSF (although as a contractor, not as an employee); that committee is…

Thanks for the feedback! I cover some of the "why" in the docs, but I agree the homepage could do a better job of making the case for a new UI toolkit. The short version: * System …

FYI, Toga uses Cassowary as well - natively through Apple's implementation on OSX and iOS, and via a Python implementation of the algorithm ( http://pybee.org/cassowary/ ) for GTK …

Spotify's UI is many things, but it doesn't even begin to appear system native.

Given that the project was announced publicly 1 week ago, I wouldn't expect to see it in Debian (testing or otherwise) for a little while.

Not yet. Android support is on the todo list once I've processed all the feedback that has come as a result of the initial release.

Thanks for the promotion :-) Of those tools, the test runner (cricket) is the most mature; the debugger isn't much more than a proof of concept. Those tools are also based in Tkint…

Sounds like you're on Windows. Unfortunately, Windows support is pretty primitive at this point (reflecting my own priorities - OSX, Unix and mobile support is a more pressing conc…

Project author here; Thanks for the heads up - I haven't come across Enaml before. I'll take a look.

Thanks for the kind words. Yes, the project is very early stage - I've been tinkering for 6 months in my spare time (and it's not like I had a whole lot of that to start with). Get…

I'll completely agree. This is a project that has been built in the last 6 months of my spare time from all my other projects, and most of that time has been spent getting things t…

Project author here; let me confirm that Toga only uses GTK+ under Ubuntu/Linux. On OS/X, it uses Cocoa. I've just clarified the text in that section of the website. Thanks for the…

The spacing and margins are all manually specified (or, in the case of the example, aren't specified at all, so they default to 0). If you cared to do so, this spacing could be man…

Thanks for the compliment. As others have pointed out, this isn't an idea of my own creation - others (e.g., SQLAlchemy) have taken similar approaches in other APIs. I'm just explo…
