    A CLI tool to build desktop applications with Neutralinojs and Python as backend

  









Thanks to [Neutralinojs][1]'s extension system, which allows us to spawn a process and communicate with it. `neutrapy` maintains both the app and the extension written in Python. Also thanks to [`PyOxidizer`][3] that compiles Python code to into binary so that it can be shipped with the app.

## Example

![example](./example.png)

The example is generated by `neutrapy create -n example`. It isn't the same as the offical example, called [litePy][4], from Neutralinojs. The official one saves the code into a temporary file and executes it by spawn a python process, which is just a one-way communication. `neutrapy` uses [websocket_client][5] for the extension to communicate with the Neutralino server. This enables a bi-directional communication between the frontend and backend.

## Installation

```bash

$ pip install -U neutrapy

# Installs the latest version of neutrapy

```
