PyPositron Wiki

Welcome to the official PyPositron Wiki! This documentation provides comprehensive guides and references for developing desktop applications with PyPositron.

PyPositron is a powerful framework that allows you to build cross-platform desktop applications using Python for the backend logic and standard web technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) for the user interface. It leverages pywebview to embed a web browser engine, giving you the flexibility and rich styling capabilities of web development combined with the robust scripting power of Python.
