Windows

The Toga backend for Windows is toga-winforms.

Prerequisites

toga-winforms requires Python 3.10+, and Windows 10 or newer.

If you are using Windows 10 and want to use a WebView to display web content, you will also need to install the Edge WebView2 Evergreen Runtime. Windows 11 has this runtime installed by default.

Installation

toga-winforms is installed automatically on Windows machines (machines that report sys.platform == 'win32'), or can be manually installed by running:

$ python -m pip install toga-winforms

Implementation details

The toga-winforms backend uses the Windows Forms API.

The native .NET APIs are accessed using Python.NET.
