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.
Usage Example
Writing PyMT applications is really easy. The shortest usable PyMT program is only two lines long.
The following example shows a little more of the framework. The code just draws a filled circle under each touch.
from pymt import *
class CircleDrawer(MTWidget):
'''Draw a circle at the position of all touches.'''
def draw(self):
set_color(1, 0, 0)
for touch in getCurrentTouches():
drawCircle(touch.pos, 50)
runTouchApp(CircleDrawer())
