    kivy, which does the same thing, has been around for over 10 years. I built my thesis in it a few years ago. not recommended—too many limitations and build issues in practice. given that this one is less mature...I'm not optimistic.

      All software has limitations, that's why we keep writing more software.

      Kivy is great, and the contributors are friendlier than most. I particularly like it for Android, but it's definitely way up there in terms of "easy reliable multiplatform python framework".

      It also gives you a ton of options for how you want to use it, more than one way to skin a cat philosophy.

        absolutely! no shade towards contributors, my impression was that compiling for iOS is just a bit of a moving target. everyone was willing and ready to help where they could, I just had a lot of trouble.
