[CLOSED] Is there a way to install tkinter/Kivy/pyQt on Pythonista?

I hope everyone is having a good day!

Hey all, I’ve been using Pythonista for a good while and wanted to know if it would be possible to install one of the modules above to Pythonista so I could practice using them? I remember omz mentioning that Pythonista is not a pure-python application. So I imagine something like these modules wouldn’t likely work in Pythonista. I appreciate any responses on the topic!!

I’ve just about learned everything in the ui module that comes Pythonista. Although the only thing giving me trouble is ui.TableView, otherwise I’ve just about got it down.

The only reason I want to install one of these modules is because it’s much easier to work with scripts/programs on Pythonista than my laptop.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. From what I’ve read it’s not possible unless omz took steps to piece them together in Pythonista. I appreciate the help!

@AceNinjaFire, someone did make a compatibility library that I think would let you run largely same code that ”behind the scenes” uses the ui module on Pythonista and kivy on PC. If that sounds interesting, I suggest googling ”omz Pythonista kivy”, for better results than those provided by the forum search.
