Cassowary

A pure Python implementation of the Cassowary constraint-solving algorithm. Cassowary is the algorithm that forms the core of the OS X and iOS visual layout mechanism.

Quickstart

Cassowary is compatible with both Python 2 or Python 3. To install Cassowary in your virtualenv, run:

$ pip install cassowary

Then, in your Python code, you can create and solve constraint systems. See the documentation for examples of what this looks like in practice.
