wxPython for iOS and Android

wxPython Dev

I’ve been looking at using Beeware Toga for python GUI development targeting iOS and Android. It’s still very immature, so I googled wxwidgets and ios and found there has been work in this area. There was a video posted in 2001 showing a wxWidget demo app running in an iOS simulator.

So, anyone know what the status is of wxWidgets on iOS (and Android) and whether there is a wxPython targeting iOS ?

Any idea where to get more info? Up to date info !!

Thanks, Brendan.

My understanding is that the iOS port is functional, but is only a very small subset of wxWidgets functionality. There has been some work and experimentation on Android, but I don’t think it ever got to the point where it was usable. I could be wrong though, it’s been a while since I’ve heard anything about it.

In either case, nothing has been done to build wxPython wrappers for those ports. They would likely take a significant amount of work to produce something usable.

Thanks. So close yet so far it would seem.
