Quick version: Is there a way to bundle up a Django application, maybe wrap an installer around it if need be, and distribute it by CD to install and run on a person's local system. Preferrably cross platform (Windows and Mac).
Long version that helps explain why we need this: I work for a company that builds web based health education programs. Most of our funding comes from grants. As part of the grant review process, the reviewers must remain anonymous and therefore, we cannot simply send a URL to our prototype. We've decided in the past to distribute a "microserver" called Microweb, that can run PHP programs from CD. But it's Windows only, and PHP or Perl only. We're currently in the process of evaluating other frameworks as we migrate away from our in-house CMS to something more flexible. I'm a big fan of Django and have used it on a couple personal side projects so I'd love to see if Django can work for us. Plus, the scientists would love the admin and we'd love how quickly we could set it up for them. I'm thinking SQLite would be the backend database since it's lightweight and cross platform. I know Django itself will run on Windows, Linux, and Mac. But the challenge is distributing it for an easy, self contained install (no internet connection). Would something like py2app work for this? If anyone has experience with this, I'd very much appreciate some guidance. Also, if others are interested in the outcome, I can report on whatever progress I make on this front.
