PySol is an open source (GPL) and platform independent computer game that incorporates around 1,000 solitaire games, including card games and other types of single-player games. The game achieved broad usage in the open-source gaming domain and was ported to other platforms, including Windows, Mac and the OpenPandora gaming handheld.
PySol was originated by Markus F.X.J. Oberhumer in 1998. It is written in the Python programming language, and it uses the Tk GUI toolkit. While development of PySol officially ceased in 2004, several forks, including PySolitaire, UltraSol, FlowerSol, and PySol Fan Club Edition (also known as “PySolFC”) continue to be developed by the game's community.
PySol and its variants contain hundreds of games, therefore the games are classified according to several criteria for better usability. The following game classes are supported by PySol: Baker's Dozen, Beleaguered Castle, Canfield, Fan, Forty Thieves, FreeCell, Golf, Gypsy, Klondike, Montana, Napoleon, Numerica, Spider, Terrace, Yukon.
