Kivy

/ˈkaɪvi/ · Noun · Development

Definitions

  1. An open source Python framework for building cross-platform graphical applications, especially touch-friendly apps that run on desktop and mobile devices. Kivy provides its own widget toolkit, rendering pipeline, and layout language rather than wrapping native platform controls directly.

    In plain English: It is a Python toolkit for building graphical apps that can run on several kinds of devices.

    Example: "We prototyped the tablet dashboard in Kivy because the same Python code could run on Android kiosks and desktop dev machines."
