It isn't dwm "port", rather it's an independent window manager with some inspiration from dwm but also from other places. Notably it doesn't share the minimalist design philosophy, it's designed with a powerful

I've known people say that they found it "easier" combining learning touch typing with learning a new keyboard layout. It's harder moment by moment, but there's no bad muscle memory to fall back on.

Since various people are asking about xmonad-like tiling in wayland: I wrote Vivarium[0] specifically to be a wayland compositor that behaves exactly like my (fairly simple) xmonad config, but it's a relatively new/unstable compos

If there was one thing I could wish to be revamped about Kivy it's the default widgets. There's a core of good ones, especially those that are most commonly used, but quite a few make bad design decisions like an over-reliance on

As has already been said, Kivy isn't a web framework, but we're well aware the website isn't great. Unfortunately it hasn't had much love for a long time, especially as it's quite a task to seriously change it and w

We've actually completely rewritten python-for-android since then, it now supports multiple bootstraps and is not tied to Kivy at all, and it should be relatively easy to use the python distribution in a native app (although this could

by inclemnet 9y ago
Kivy actually is completely optional, python-for-android doesn't require any particular frontend. The main supported options for guis other than Kivy are SDL2 (you can use e.g. PySDL2) or a webview, but it's designed to be easy to

I think it's still generally the case that Kivy apps tend to use the default (clunky) theme or something more custom, but there has recently been some user activity around alternatives, e.g. a set material design themed widgets ( https

I'm not aware of anyone having succeeded with Jython - I think there are technical issues but I'm not sure what's the nature of the problem. One option for interacting with java from python is to use tools like pyjnius ( http

Python indeed runs fine on Android once you can get it to compile (the interpreter needs to be patched to compile with bionic, or can be compiled without patches using the CrystaX NDK). The Kivy graphical framework has the associated python

It's been a long time coming, but I expect to merge python3 support into python-for-android within the next couple of days. I'll make an announcement about it at the time.

It works fine, and includes things like the ability to access the Android API (with pyjnius and plyer) but there are some problems that are difficult or impossible to fix. In some cases these aren't important or you can just not care,
