Plug In Drawing, Does Little Else. A cross-platform drawing library for
Python.

PIDDLE is a Python module for creating two-dimensional graphics in a manner
that is both cross-platform and cross-media; that is, it can support screen
graphics (e.g. QuickDraw, Windows, Tk) as well as file output (PostScript,
PDF, GIF, etc.). It makes use of the native 2D drawing calls of each backend,
for maximum efficiency and quality. It works by defining a base class
(piddle.Canvas) with methods for all supported drawing primitives. A
particular drawing context is provided in the form of a derived class. PIDDLE
applications will be able to automatically select an appropriate backend for
the user's environment.
