What is it?

The EvasionProject is a toolbox that allows you to make Point of Sale (POS), Ticket Pickup Machines or even cross-platform applications. It is written in  Python for rapid development and cross platform support.

Why Use it?

  • The license is compatible with commercial closed source projects.
  • Web application development is faster and much more flexible then traditional GUI toolkit approaches.
  • Modern CSS can completely change the look without affecting the operation.
  • The EvasionProject runs on most major platform Windows, Linux or Mac OSX.
  • The project is a highly modular toolbox, you can use all of it or just the parts you need.

  • The project allows a web application developer to escape the confines of "just" web development.
  • It allows easily creation of projects that could be desktop bound and/or have access to hardware and local services.
