pythonnative package

Public API

Page

pythonnative.Page — base class for screens. Subclass it, implement render(), and use set_state() to trigger re-renders.

Element functions

  • pythonnative.Text, Button, Column, Row, ScrollView, TextInput, Image, Switch, ProgressBar, ActivityIndicator, WebView, Spacer

Each returns an Element descriptor. See the Component Property Reference for full signatures.

Element

pythonnative.Element — the descriptor type returned by element functions. You generally don't create these directly.

Internal helpers

  • pythonnative.utils.IS_ANDROID — platform flag with robust detection for Chaquopy/Android.
  • pythonnative.utils.get_android_context() — returns the current Android Activity/Context when running on Android.
  • pythonnative.utils.set_android_context(ctx) — set by Page on Android; you generally don't call this directly.
  • pythonnative.utils.get_android_fragment_container() — returns the current Fragment container ViewGroup used for page rendering.
  • pythonnative.utils.set_android_fragment_container(viewGroup) — set by the host PageFragment; you generally don't call this directly.

Reconciler

pythonnative.reconciler.Reconciler — diffs element trees and applies minimal native mutations. Used internally by Page.

Native view registry

pythonnative.native_views.NativeViewRegistry — maps element type names to platform-specific handlers. Use set_registry() to inject a mock for testing.
