So I guess I'm asking for advice or simplified examples of how to go about connecting a client desktop app to a parent/master desktop app, so I can get some idea of how big of a task I'm looking at here, and whether that would be more or less difficult than trying to do the equivalent job using a web framework.
For a similar need I went with a webapp using Flask and a minimal amount of js (that I don't know very well and therefore don't like very much :-) but the alternative that I considered was Dabo [1], I haven't checked how the client-server connection actually works with dabo tho' but I'm mentioning in case you're inclined to do so.
For the client part and different from the "usual" js framework I had a brief experience with Cappuccino [2], if you happen to know Cocoa it's pretty straightforward to use.
