PyQt4 / Tkinter in Ren'Py

[Vladimir_P]

Hi, all!
I want to add some modules to working with system GUI.
So, I want include PyQt4 (or Tkinter [I don't known what better ]) in BUILT game on Ren'Py, but I don't known how do that.

I hope, you understand what I mean... If not, there is my short question:
How I can include PyQt4 module in Ren'Py?

Sorry for my English... I badly known this language.

Hi Vladimir,

My understanding is that only pure python modules can be included with a Ren'py game. PyQt4 uses C libraries (I work with PyQt4 in my 'real life' projects). Even tkinter, despite being a part of the official python distribution, includes C libraries so it can't be used either.

My recommendation would be to build your UI entirely from the functionality built into Ren'py -- it is a very robust scripting environment and capable of some pretty advanced functionality (though I am still learning it myself).

This is correct. Ren'Py takes over the event loop of your program, and so running with an alternate gui system isn't supported. What makes sense is to build a second program, in Python or some other language, and then using the subprocess module to run it. But figuring out how to distribute that second program becomes your problem.

Thank you all!
I will test the idea of PyTom.

I don't know what you plan to do, but maybe you could use this for inspiration: [INSANE CODING] iios - Desktop Environment using RenPy
