Currently, Haiku-PyAPI is best suited to scripts and small, simple

applications.

Virtually everything from Haiku's API is available. It is likely that you will

run into some bugs if you try to make an application. Please report them! Also,

there's a good chance we can give you a workaround to use until it is fixed.

Almost everything in the app and interface kits have been ported. The storage

kit has mostly been ported. The support kit has only partially been ported.

The other kits haven't been ported yet.

Of the kits that have been ported, many of the functions haven't been tested

yet. You should, therefore, expect to encounter problems occasionally. Besides

this, you can expect memory leaks, as little work has been done on getting

memory freed correctly once it is no longer needed.

Probably, the biggest bug is memory leaks. Unless memory management for a class

was simple for us to do, it is likely that we opted to never free the memory

so that we could worry about memory management later!

Installation on Haiku is easy, just run

If you need the latest widgets and bugfixes, then you should compile from source, see below.
