Thanks, I've looked into XUL but it looks too heavyweight to me. > On the other hand, if you want pure HTML for your web app, maybe you should > consider making the desktop app HTML-based, too? Jorge Godoy brought that up too, sounds pretty good, but how would that work? The desktop app would launch a mini webserver and the user would use his/her browser that connnects to the local web server? Or is there a GUI toolkit library for python which can render html? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
