Welcome to PyMT’s documentation!¶
PyMT is an open source library for developing multi-touch applications. It is completely cross platform (Linux/OSX/Win) and released under the terms of the GNU LGPL.
It comes with native support for many multi-touch input devices, a growing library of multi-touch aware widgets, hardware accelerated OpenGL drawing, and an architecture that is designed to let you focus on building custom and highly interactive applications as quickly and easily as possible.
Since PyMT is a pure Python library, you can take advantage of its highly dynamic nature and use any of the thousands of high quality and open source python libraries out there.

Programming Guide of PyMT¶
In order to understand PyMT, you must first understand the underlying libraries that have been used to create it. The programming guide contains a basic introduction to each of these libraries, in addition to a few unique systems created specifically for PyMT.
You can access to the Programming Guide on the Wiki :
