Plyer

Plyer is a platform-independent api to use features commonly found on various platforms, notably mobile ones, in Python.

coverage Backers on Open Collective Sponsors on Open Collective Continuous Integration with Ubuntu Continuous Integration with OSX Continuous Integration with Windows Deploy to PyPI

How plyer works?

Plyer tries not to reinvent the wheel, and will call for external libraries to implement the api in the easiest way, depending on the current platform.

  • On Android(python-for-android), pyjnius is used
  • On iOS(kivy-ios), pyobjus is used
  • On windows/mac/linux, commonly found libraries and programs will be used
