Pyjamas generates plain JavaScript code. I'm not sure whether this is what you want (the project you mention uses GTK, IIUC). > My questions are. > > 1.

As plain JavaScript (= Python code converted/translated with pyjs) all you need is an HTML rendering engine that does JavaScript; and with Pyjamas Desktop MSHTML is what runs on Windows - and we're happy about it. > from the documentation and running the examples of pyjamas on windows i > am convinced that i can achieve the above goals, But i don't know yet of > how to. Check out the (a little bit outdated) examples at http://pyjs.org/examples/ (for up-to-date ones get the latest git). This will probably give you a better understanding of what Pyjamas really is.
