Hello everyone I want to know what is the best GUI framework for python that supports touch I've been searching couple of hours and this are results which I found:

PyQt5

I heard for Qt and I know it supports touch screen devices but I was searching for reviews about PyQt5 (5.2) support for touch devices and didn't found anything specific.

Kivy

I found out about Kivy 10 minutes ago I watched some videos ,read their documentation and I was really impressed.

PYGTK3

I found on wiki that version 3 supports touch devices but I wanted to confirm that and didn't found anything specific too.

I want to hear your opinion esspecially I need to know which of those solution is best to combine with gstreamer framework.

Take a look at pyotherside, it's not really a GUI framework for python but a way to call python3 code from a QML application (you could even use the Ubuntu SDK).

Pyotherside is available in the Ubuntu repositories as of 14.10.

Regarding Gstreamer, from python I'd use gobject introspection, See Using GStreamer 1.0 from Python.

From QML, if you just need the playback feature, take a look at the MediaPlayer QML Type.

    I'm not sure about touch support in pyQt and pyGTK3. I never used kivy. So my only recommendation is pyotherside. Sorry I'm not really familiar with the others. – Sylvain Pineau Sep 11 '14 at 09:24
  • No problem mate your showed me new alternative .Thanks a lot. – harisk92 Sep 11 '14 at 09:29
  • I forgot to mention that a 14.04 version of pyotherside exists in our [dev PPA](https://launchpad.net/~checkbox-dev/+archive/ubuntu/ppa). If you think my proposal can help you, don't forget to accept my answer. Thx – Sylvain Pineau Sep 11 '14 at 09:34
