PyTauri

Tauri bindings for Python through Pyo3

Documentation: https://pytauri.github.io/pytauri/

Source Code: https://github.com/pytauri/pytauri/

This is a completely free and open-source project, but it is difficult to maintain without incentives and contributions from the community.

If you think this project is helpful, consider giving it a star , it would be very helpful for my work and studies. 🥺👉👈

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!
Or use pytauri-wheel, you won't need the Rust compiler, everything can be done in Python! Check out examples/tauri-app-wheel.
Can be integrated with tauri-cli to build and package standalone executables!
- Use Cython to protect your source code!
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)

Automatically generated TypeScript types and client for IPC

Python

import sys

from pydantic import BaseModel
from pytauri import (
    AppHandle,
    Commands,
)
from pytauri_plugins.notification import 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(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);
}

Can be integrated with nicegui/gradio/FastAPI to achieve a full-stack Python development experience (i.g., without Node.js). See examples/nicegui-app.

Release

We follow Semantic Versioning 2.0.0.

Rust and its Python bindings, PyTauri core and its plugins will keep the same MAJOR.MINOR version number.

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. 😆

Used By

Although PyTauri is a fairly young project, a few people have used it to make cool projects:

Digger Solo - AI powered file manager
