PyWire is a lightweight Python library that allows you to create simple desktop GUI applications using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, while giving full access to Python’s functionality and libraries. It's designed to make cross-platform desktop app development with web technologies a breeze! ✨
PyWire is heavily inspired by and aims to be compatible with the excellent Eel project. We've taken the core ideas and built upon them to provide a robust and easy-to-use solution for integrating Python with web frontends. Our goal is to offer a similar developer experience with additional features and optimizations. 🐍🌐
You can install PyWire directly from PyPI:
pip install pywire-eelOr from github
pip install git+https://github.com/Fadi002/PyWire- Seamless Python-JavaScript Interoperability: Call Python functions from JavaScript and vice-versa with ease. 🔄
- Cross-Platform Compatibility: Build apps that run on Windows, macOS, and Linux. 💻
- Web Technologies: Leverage your existing knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to build beautiful UIs. 🎨
- Lightweight & Fast: Designed for performance and minimal overhead. ⚡
- Eel-compatible API: Familiar API for developers coming from the Eel ecosystem. 🤝
Here's a quick example to get you started:
import pywire
@pywire.expose
def say_hello(name):
print(f"Hello from Python: {name}!")
return f"Hello, {name}! This is from Python."
pywire.init('web') # 'web' is the folder containing your HTML, CSS, JS files
pywire.start('index.html') # 'index.html' is your main HTML fileAnd in your web/index.html:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="bridge.js"></script> <!-- This must be included in your html -->
<title>PyWire App</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/pywire.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
async function callPython() {
let result = await pywire.say_hello("World");
document.getElementById('output').innerText = result;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Welcome to PyWire!</h1>
