Features

TL;DR

You are hurry and just wanna see/run the demo? See examples/tauri-app.

• Need Rust compiler, but almost don't need to write Rust code!
• Can be integrated with tauri-cli to build and package standalone executables!
• No IPC (inter-process communication) overhead, secure and fast, thanks to Pyo3!

• Support Tauri official plugins(e.g., notification), and you can write your own plugins!

  

• Natively support async python (asyncio, trio or anyio)

• 100% Type Completeness

• Ergonomic API (and as close as possible to the Tauri Rust API)

  • Python

    import sys
    
    from pydantic import BaseModel
    from pytauri import (
        AppHandle,
        Commands,
    )
    from pytauri_plugin_notification import NotificationBuilderArgs, NotificationExt
    
    commands: Commands = Commands()
    
    
    class Person(BaseModel):
        name: str
    
    
    class Greeting(BaseModel):
        message: str
    
    
    @commands.command()
    async def greet(body: Person, app_handle: AppHandle) -> Greeting:
        notification_builder = NotificationExt.builder(app_handle)
        notification_builder.show(
            NotificationBuilderArgs(title="Greeting", body=f"Hello, {body.name}!")
        )
    
        return Greeting(
            message=f"Hello, {body.name}! You've been greeted from Python {sys.version}!"
        )
    

  • Frontend

    import { pyInvoke } from "tauri-plugin-pytauri-api";
    // or: `const { pyInvoke } = window.__TAURI__.pytauri;`
    
    export interface Person {
        name: string;
    }
    
    export interface Greeting {
        message: string;
    }
    
    export async function greet(body: Person): Promise<Greeting> {
        return await pyInvoke("greet", body);
    }

Philosophy

For Pythoneer

I hope PyTauri can become an alternative to pywebview and Pystray, leveraging Tauri's comprehensive features to offer Python developers a GUI framework and a batteries-included development experience similar to electron and PySide.

PyTauri is inspired by FastAPI and Pydantic, aiming to offer a similar development experience.

For Rustacean

Through Pyo3, I hope Rust developers can better utilize the Python ecosystem (e.g., building AI GUI applications with PyTorch).

Although Rust's lifetime and ownership system makes Rust code safer, Python's garbage collection (GC) will make life easier. 😆

The Future

In the future, I hope PyTauri can integrate with nicegui and gradio, bringing you a Python full-stack (i.g., without Node.js) development experience.
