Welcome to TGWidgets

TGWidgets is not a single project. It is a collection of widget packages.

By wrapping up existing scripts and collecting commonly used reusable UI elements we hope to

  1. increase the speed of creating new web-applications
  2. decrease the amount of pain figuring out how to make things work the TurboGears way
  3. ease maintenance - you will just have to easy_install -U xy your favorite packages

who, what and where

These packages are maintained by volunteers. For a full list, see contributors and sponsors.

You can download the packages by PyPI, and access the Subversion repository as anonymous.
