PIME is a framework for developing Windows input method editors (IMEs) using Python and Node.js backends on top of the Windows Text Services Framework (TSF). It includes LibIME, a TSF wrapper library, and a backbone text service implementation.

Use cases

• create a custom Chinese input method for Windows
• develop a Windows IME without writing raw COM/TSF code
• build a Bopomofo or phonetic input method
• implement a text input service for Windows 10/11
• prototype input method logic in Python

When to choose

• you need to build a custom input method editor for Windows
• you want to implement TSF text services with higher-level languages like Python or Node.js
• you are developing Chinese or other CJK input methods

When to avoid

• you need input methods for macOS or Linux
• you want a ready-to-use input method rather than a development framework
• your project must avoid LGPL-licensed components
