Recommend a GUI library (targetting Raspberry PI with small screen)
#1
Hello

I'm an experienced developer across many languages and have finally got round to having a look at Python which is really interesting so far. It seems nice and transparent. It's not as opaque as JavaScript or as long-winded as C#, for example.

I'm hoping to develop some applications to run on Raspberry PIs with small screens attached. They'll be educational tools to aid teaching music.

I've had a good Google of Python GUIs and can't see the wood for the trees to be honest! Can anybody recommend a good GUI library for the criteria identified?

Good =

Will suit smaller screens
Well documented and supported
Looks nice

Thanks
Jim

My suggestion would be Kivy. https://kivy.org/#home

It is very modern but well established and a lot of people are using it for cross platform games which should suit your graphically oriented musical app. It uses that new paradigm where the graphic components are stored in a separate file (like WPF's XAML) so if you're not familiar with that idea there might be a little learning curve. I have just played around with it a bit but there's some nice, well written tutorials you could try out to see if you like it.
