Paneer 🥘

Paneer is a lightweight framework that allows you to create modern, cross-platform desktop applications using web technologies (HTML/JS/CSS) and Python. It provides a bridge between your frontend and your Python logic with a simple RPC system.

Project Structure

This project is organized as a monorepo to manage both the Python framework and the JavaScript bridge effectively:

• packages/python/: The core Python library and CLI tool.
• packages/javascript/: The source for the paneer.js bridge (available via NPM).
• examples/: Ready-to-run example applications.
• docs/: Additional documentation and development notes.

Key Features

• Cross-Platform: Support for Linux (GTK4 + WebKit) and Windows (WinForms + WebView2).
• Native Dialogs: Use OS-native file pickers and message boxes.
• Zero-Config IPC: Call Python functions from JavaScript with paneer.invoke().
• Modern CLI: Scaffolding tools for popular frameworks like React.

Getting Started

pip install .
