Well, this addresses atleast some of the issues regarding the future of python that someone else was worrying about a few days ago on HN. Kivy promises to be fast (which is usually the main sourpoint for the be-all do-alls) """ Kivy is fast. This applies to both: application development and application execution speeds. We have optimized Kivy in many ways. We implement time-critical functionality on the C level to leverage the power of existing compilers. More importantly, we also use intelligent algorithms to minimize costly operations. Most importantly, we use the GPU wherever it makes sense in our context. The computational power of today’s graphics cards surpasses that of today’s CPUs by far for some tasks and algorithms, especially drawing. That’s why we try to let the GPU do as much of the work as possible, thus increasing performance considerably. """ Itching to try!
