## Description

Phoenix is a cross-platform Python framework designed for building native desktop graphical user interfaces. It functions as a language binding generator and build automation system, enabling developers to create applications that utilize the underlying operating system's native controls and visual styles.

The project provides a mechanism for mapping native C++ graphical toolkit components to Python, allowing for the development of desktop
