"The PyMT developers have announced version 0.5 of their Python multi-touch user interface library. PyMT 0.5 supports Windows 7 and Mac OS X multi-touch APIs and, in this version, now supports Linux multi-touch kernel events, which were introduced in the 2.6.32 Linux kernel.

"Making use of hardware accelerated OpenGL, the LGPL licensed PyMT is able to render touchable user interface components including basic elements such as buttons, toggles, lists, sliders, file browsers and more advanced kinetic lists, object scattering and virtual keyboards."
