The language bindings were initially developed for the individual components of EFL, until merged together in 2013. + +He was later joined by Ulisses Furquim Freire da Silva, who together formed the company ProFUSION embedded systems where the developement continued and a new software project called Editje was created, which uses the Python bindings for most of its functionality. + +Python-EFL gained many more developers, also at this time an independent application project called EpyMC was created by Davide Andreoli. + +In the beginning of the year 2011 the developement was practically halted. In 2012 Davide Andreoli picked up the developement and Kai Huuhko (@kuuko) joined him shortly after. Work at this time was focused on finishing the Python bindings for Elementary, the toolkit library. + +In 2013 the individual components were merged together and a new documentation system was implemented, enabling easier access for the end-user developers. + +Currently (as in 2022) the bindings are still actively maintained and improved by Davide Andreoli, in his effort to bring to python a powerfull and attractive UI toolkit. --
