Kivy: Cross-Platform Python Framework for UI Development

Re:Kivy: Cross-Platform Python Framework for UI Development by mixmastamyk on Sunday December 20, 2020 @06:09PM (#25490474)

Kivy is awesome considering what it,s trying to do. As ambitious as flutter but without corporate support. Unfortunately the project is quite under-resourced, can anyone help?

For example, stick to the basics and it works well. But do something off the beaten track like write a background service for Android and hit a bug and you're completely on your own, even if you offer to pay a core dev. I once hit another bug where Unicode couldn't be used in .kv files, was a one line fix but there were 70 unread pull requests and more even more issues untouched. Two or three heros try to help on the mailing list. I gave up but would like to try one more time with 2.0.

What problems did you have with android services? Have been using them without issues (sticky services work well enough), and with python machine learning/scikit-learn, scipy,numpy, pandas, opencv this framework is one of a kind for rapid moibile development if you are doing any kind of edge data processing.

Giant tracebacks that no one could help with. I'll try again soon with 2.0.
