Since the application is a web app have you looked at: https://github.com/r0x0r/pywebview + https://github.com/dddomodossola/remi or at https://flexx.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ These basically wrap the platform's web engine so you can write stand alone desktop apps but coding in Python (which gets translated into HTML/JS). -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
