pdwidgets

Cross-platform widget toolkit for PyDevices — now a separate package.

Install from PyDevices/pdwidgets:

import mip
mip.install("pdwidgets", index="https://PyDevices.github.io/mip")

Documentation: pdwidgets.readthedocs.io

PyScript widget demos install pdwidgets at runtime via # deps: pdwidgets (?deps= → MIP on MicroPython / micropip on Pyodide).

Event loop

Display wires into eventsys.Runtime at construction (input dispatch and periodic render ticks). Build the UI, then keep the app alive with runtime.run_forever():

import board_config
import pdwidgets as pd
from app_runtime import runtime

display = pd.Display(board_config.display_drv, runtime)
screen = pd.Screen(display)
# ... build UI ...
runtime.run_forever()

pdwidgets owns no timer of its own — frames are driven from the shared runtime selected by runtime.timer_async. During setup bursts before run_forever(), call pd.tick() to flush draws if needed.

See pdwidgets docs for full API reference.

Examples

Widget demos live in pydevices-examples's lib/examples/ — for example widgets_clinic_queue.py, widgets_energy_panel.py, widgets_locker_kiosk.py, and calc_widgets.py.

Icons

Material Design icons ship inside the pdwidgets package. See pdwidgets/icons.
