Can i write a GUI for fedora using pygtk?

I would like to write my own frontend for an operating system in python my current choice is linux fedora but after the install i would then remove the x window system so that i could write my own OS frontend but would it still work or does pygtk need the x window system to function?

Solution

  • Looks like you can run gtk 2 on the framebuffer, so, without X:

    Since pygtk seems to use gtk 2, it could work.
