Welcome to the Python OS Wiki!

The current release is v1.01. Report issues on the Issues page.

If you are making your own Python OS system, you can download 3D-printable components to make a case here.

Resources to start with:

Python OS is designed to run on a Raspberry Pi microcomputer. The model B or higher is recommended. The OS itself is designed to run with a touchscreen such as Adafruit's PiTFT - Assembled 320x240 2.8" TFT+Touchscreen for Raspberry Pi, but nothing in it requires the use of one. You can test it out on any computer that can run Python and Pygame.

Interesting features

  • Modular, easy-to-write applications.
  • A complete, event driven GUI toolkit.
  • A touchscreen keyboard.
  • Much more!

If you enjoy using Python OS, please consider a donation to help fund development.
