I've been thinking about that myself for some future app ideas. If you have a stand-alone app working from your web browser, don't you need an embedded web server to utilize the file system? Is a system like Django for an app overkill? Or is its embedded development server underkill for a single-user browser-based application? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
