Talk Python to Me: #494: Update on Flet: Python + Flutter UIs

As Python developers, we have access to over half a million packages on PyPI, but the options for UI frameworks are limited, especially when it comes to mobile apps. Flutter is a UI framework that allows for building desktop and mobile applications, and was used to build the Talk Python courses app. Flet is a Python UI framework that uses the Flutter framework, making it possible to build mobile and desktop apps with Python. Feodor Fitsner, the creator of Flet, is back on the show to give an update on the project's progress. Flet allows for building full-featured mobile apps with Python, which is a significant development. The framework is distributed and executed on Flutter, making it possible to build mobile and desktop apps. Flet has built-in binary wheels for Android and allows for integrating existing Flutter packages. The framework also supports web apps, with differences between dynamic and static apps. Flet is an exciting development for Python developers, making it easier to build mobile and desktop apps. The episode also mentions other UI frameworks, such as Kivy and Beeware, and provides links to resources and episode sponsors.
