>From the OP: <snip>As for the application it has to be able display simple animated graphics such as circles, lines and squares. However if someone clicks on a shape it should open up another application, such as Word. Thanks,

It will be retrieving data from a variety of sources.</snip> I was thinking that the security provisions might make it difficult for the script in the browser to interact with the OS. If that is "simple" to get around, then I agree, Karrigell is overkill. OTOH, Karrigell makes it simple to interact with the local machine's OS, and especially if you are a beginner at Python. YMMV, of course. Thanks for offering your opinion. Ron -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
