A demonstration of the capabilities of the Toga widget toolkit.

In your virtualenv, install Toga Demo, and then run it:

$ pip install toga-demo
$ toga-demo

This will pop up a GUI window.

Toga uses the system native python GTK+3 bindings for display purposes. However, if you're using a --no-site-packages virtualenv, the Python bindings for GTK won't be in your PYTHONPATH.

Unfortunately, you can't pip install GTK+ bindings, so you have to use a workaround. To make the system GTK+ bindings available to your virtualenv, symlinking the gi module from the system dist-packages directory into your virtualenv's site-packages:

$ cd $VIRTUAL_ENV/lib/python2.7/site-packages
$ ln -si /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gi

Toga Demo is part of the BeeWare suite. You can talk to the community through:

• @pybeeware on Twitter
• The BeeWare Users Mailing list, for questions about how to use the BeeWare suite.
• The BeeWare Developers Mailing list, for discussing the development of new features in the BeeWare suite, and ideas for new tools for the suite.
