Project description

pyFLTK:

A Python Wrapper for the FLTK library

GOALS:

  • To wrap FLTK1.4 in Python
  • To port all programs in test/ to Python using pyFLTK

If you'd like to help out, I'd suggest using the pyfltk mailing list (at the bottom) to coordinate who's working on what.

  1. This wrapper requires:
  • SWIG 4.0 or later
  • Python 3.8 or later
  • Fast Light Toolkit 1.4 or later
  1. Restrictions

At present, the Python wrapper has been ported and is quite stable. You might encounter certain parts that are not yet or only partailly wrapped.

  1. The wrapper is available on PyPi: https://pypi.org/project/pyFltk/

  2. see INSTALL file for instructions how to build or install the Python wrapper of FLTK

  3. Do the following to run some tests:

    cd fltk/test

    python hello.py or python3 hello.py (depending on your platform)

  • ./test contains demo programs from the FLTK distribution reimplemented in Python.
  • You can run ./test/demos.py for a little menu of the demos

Thanks:

Especial thanks to Kevin Dalhausen, the originator of pyFLTK. He did such a good job, the rest was easy.

Many thanks to the creators of fltk (www.fltk.org), the best, fastest and lightest toolkit there is!

Finally, not to forget the creators of SWIG (www.swig.org) a unique tool for doing what we've done here.
