PythonCard

PythonCard is an open source software product that enables users to easily build cross-platform desktop applications on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux using the Python language. The software's principle is grounded in simplicity, with the motto being "Simple things should be simple and complex things should be possible." Users who are looking for a fast and easy way to develop graphical applications with minimal coding will find PythonCard ideal.

Apple's HyperCard is one of the inspirations behind PythonCard's design. PythonCard is built on wxPython, meaning that those already familiar with wxPython will appreciate PythonCard's straightforward way of creating wxPython programs, complete with a wide range of examples and tools to copy and subclass.

PythonCard follows the terms of a BSD-style license, which means that users are free to use and download the executable files, source code, and other project materials for personal and professional use as long as they give credit to the source and adhere to the applicable license.

The latest version of PythonCard has added features like minimized and maximized attributes to the Background class, the addition of the getTextExtent and getFullTextExtent methods to BitmapCanvas and customizable window styles in backgroundInfo. The standalone builder also gets an update, now supporting py2exe and both Python 2.4 and 2.5 on Mac.

PythonCard is a comprehensive software solution for cross-platform desktop application development, made available through an open source project with a focus on ease-of-use and flexibility.
