Re: PyHtmlGUI Project is looking for developers
Good Morning everybody. Maybe it didn't get clear in the previous discussion: We didn't choose Qt as GUI API, we build an own GUI which is able to produce XML and html output, but whose structure is close to Qt. We even built a basic factory which produces PyHtmlGUI widgets from a Qt Designer .ui file, but it is still in development. The GUI is used by another project (a data management framework for Zope) which hasn't been anounced yet, but could generally be used for any python based webapplication (it enfolds its full capacity when it comes to forms, dialogs and wizards). The lack of client-side functionality (Javascript etc.) didn't cause any urgent problems, so we decided to postpone that, but since there are almost no constraints on widget customization, it is even now possible to build in javascript while building a layout, we just didn't try. The main goal of the project is to have a real GUI creating html and thus to avoid something like dtml, jsp or php etc., where you have to fiddle code into html. It's the other way around and since the css update it is even looking nice ;) Have a nice day, Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

This wasa what I thought you > were doing. With appropriate AJAX type calls it's not unfeasible. The mentioned compatibility layer are the Renderer and a RequestHandler. Instead of rendering html it would be possible to render pixelbased widgets, the renderer could use any other python-GUI-API to produce the layouts. But I don't really see why this could be neccessary at the moment. Whatever works for the web can be used via browser on the desktop as well. But it could be great to have it the other way around. Imagine some Qt-based desktop application being accessible via browser.
