stretchable#
stretchable is a layout library for Python that enables context-agnostic layout operations using CSS Grid and Flexbox. Possible uses include UI layouts, page layouts for reports, complex plotting layouts, etc.
It implements Python bindings for Taffy, an implementation of Grid/Flexbox written in Rust. It was originally based on Stretch (hence the name), but has since migrated to use Taffy. It is multi-platform and there are distributions available for Windows, Linux and macOS.
