"""Kiwi is a library designed to make developing graphical applications as
easy as possible. It offers both a framework and a set of enhanced widgets,
and is based on Python and GTK+. Kiwi borrows concepts from MVC, Java Swing
and Microsoft MFC, but implements a set of unique classes that take
advantage of the flexibility and simplicity of Python to make real-world
application creation much easier.
Kiwi includes a Framework and a set of enhanced widgets
