Yes, do be careful of ajax, and of internet programming in general. However, the usual use of a desktop app is deployment within one company, so if you write it as a web app you can ease the security issue by firewalling the server so that it can't be accessed through the outside internet. That still makes deployment a lot easier, since there are zero desktop installations required, and you can upgrade the software whenever you want at the server side. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
