Building real-time apps for web, mobile & desktop in Python
summary
Flet claims to let Python apps target web, desktop and mobile without frontend code by compiling Python UI calls into Flutter widgets via a server model (piglet fork) and ships hot reload and packaging so development is fast. Installation is just pip install flet, project scaffolding with flat create, run with flat run and produce Android with flat build apk. Demo shows single‑page apps, APK creation works, but low‑level Flutter widget access and some platform APIs were historically limited.
