What Are The VCL and FMX Libraries?
VCL and FireMonkey(FMX) are mature GUI libraries used by thousands of Delphi and C++Builder developers around the world.
What Are The DelphiVCL and DelphiFMX Libraries for Python?
The DelphiVCL and DelphiFMX libraries for Python are a set of Python modules that put the robust and mature VCL and FireMonkey (FMX) GUI libraries in the hands of Python developers.
The libraries are built with the same open-source Python4Delphi library that powers the popular PyScripter Python IDE.
DelphiVCL for Python is focused on native Windows development and employs the Windows-only VCL framework, while DelphiFMX for Python employs the cross-platform FireMonkey framework and brings a powerful flexible GUI framework to Windows, Linux, macOS, and Android.
Do I need to know Delphi to use the DelphiVCL and DelphiFMX libraries for Python?
No. Although knowledge of Delphi is a big advantage when working with these libraries, using the VCL and FMX libraries for Python development does not require previous knowledge of Delphi.
Where To Get The Libraries
DelphiVCL Python Module
The Visual Component Library (VCL) is a key part of Delphi’s state-of-the-art user interface support. It contains most native Windows controls, and controls with additional features and functionality.
DelphiFMX Python Module
FireMonkey (FMX) is Delphi’s cross-platform GUI library. It takes advantage of GPU hardware acceleration using OpenGL or DirectX to create slick, modern, and high-performance user interfaces. The DelphiFMX Python module supports Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android development with Python.
Both modules are freely available via GitHub or the PIP Python Package Manager

ADO.NET
The InterBase ADO.NET driver for Visual Studio, made available as a Nuget package and listed in the Visual Studio marketplace, offers Visual Studio 2019 IDE integration and full support for ADO.NET and the Entity Framework.
The newly released NuGet package for Visual Studio includes a brand new ADO.NET driver for InterBase along with several additional features for a great integration with the Visual Studio IDE and the overall .NET platform. This new driver is a complete rewrite of the previous InterBase ADO.NET driver.
The NuGet packages and the driver include:
- Core ADO.NET framework support and integration, including both InterBase server and the local, embedded IBLite/IBToGo (see image below)
- Entity Framework support, offering the ability to use the popular .NET Object-Relational mapping layer with InterBase (this support requires adding a specific InterBase UDF extension library to your database installation)
Prerequisites
- .Net 2.0 SDK with update
- Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 or above
- InterBase XE or above
System Requirements
- ADO.NET driver requires the installation of the InterBase client library on the machine, and an InterBase server installation on the
- same or a different machine.
- ADO.NET can run on any Visual Studio version. However, IDE integration is only available on Visual Studio 2017 and 2019.
- DDEX only works on Visual Studio 2017 or Visual Studio 2019.
- EntityFramework core requires netstandard 2.0 and Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore 3.1 to run in any Visual Studio version.

Low Code Wizards
Create a new fully-functional Delphi mobile application with multiple screens using the Low Code Wizard. Once built, the app is easy to modify, and demonstrates coding best practices.
The Low Code App Wizard for FireMonkey is Delphi’s technology for cross-platform applications. Once installed, the New Items dialog runs a wizard that creates a fully functional cross-platform Delphi FireMonkey application that already contains basic functionality that every mobile app will need. The app can be run as is, and hooks can be used to build more. The Low Code App Wizard also demonstrates application development best practices with a very clean extensible design that can add more screens with low code, plus a set of tests to maintain the app’s high quality through customization.
Applications are configurable through the wizard, and creators can choose any set of the following:
- User accounts: sign up, sign in, and a profile screen, with hooks for authentication
- Settings screen, where the theme can be changed between light and dark, plus some example settings that can be reused or extended
- Contacts screen
- Terms of Use, About, and Privacy policy screens, all easily configurable
- A database layer: storing data in the app using Interbase
- An example new screen to use as a template or example for adding new functionality
In short, the Low Code App Wizard generates the framework of an already working, useful application that can be extended using Delphi’s RAD (or low code) visual application design.
