Which is a great library for making a pixel art software
#1
Question 
Hi,I am making a pixel art editor for learning python and also as a hobby project. But, I am stuck on which lib to chose. I tried PIL, but it not working for me as it messes up the window and not great to use. I did not find a lib that can properly manipulate pixel art. I found some tutorials that used lists to store the pixel values, but they are not good for large canvases. What lib will you suggest for this kind of operation? That is not buggy, creates and stores files efficiently and also export them, resizes the window properly and shows them properly, that has some basic features, able to support animations and layers etc.. I am not saying it should do all the things mentioned, it just has to work. I am planning to use kivy for the GUI. Is pygame a great choice?

I know that I should be finding and doing it myself, but I have been researching about this for the past 3 days and haven't found any thing that I need. I don't know if I am allowed to ask suggestion or opinions in this forum, So sorry if I am breaking the rules.

Thanks fro reading and helping Heart

you can explore: https://pypi.org/search/?q=pixel+%2B+art

I haven't had the need to use any of these, so you will have to try to see if any of them fill your needs.

Thanks, I looked at it. And found a simple lib, but it does not have much feature like a circle tool. So, I am planning on using pygame, is it a great choice? Or I am going to make my own library. Can, you help me with how I should do it? Like, can I use another lib inside my lib? How can I open a window without using tkinter or something else? How can I draw on it? Like draw pixels on it? How can I integrate the lib with other GUI like Kivy?

Thanks for the help

I'm not a game developer, but pygame has been around for a long time and will do the job.

Kivy is easy to learn, and I understand applications built with it will run on many devices, including phones.
