Sometime back, I came across the idea of bundling a basic webserver in a
python application and using a browser window as the GUI host. That's
probably one of the most universal kind of GUI framework
possible...though it might not have all that native GUI packages provide.
If I want to do something like this, can someone guide if there are
already existing packages to that?
Here's what I will need, i think:
a) Python executable
b) Python scripts (which create the HTML files and implement the logic
of the application)
c) CSS files
d) Other things that make up contemporary web 2.0 frameworks
(templating, SQL related stuff)
d) A basic webserver (does this need to be a Python one...I think its
better to have a simple one as a separate EXE)
what else?
The Twisted framework would be able to these things, in a very lightweight
manner. And then use py2exe to bundle it into a single executable. Twisted
has their neat Nevow/STAN templating and very powerful AJAX/Athena
client<->server callbacks. Lots more lately - a database interface solution
and a pluggable UI framework. If you haven't visited their website lately,
check it out.
