Paul, Here's the deal. What it sounds like you're wanting is to be able to write models in python that access the Google Gears LocalStorage (etc.) API. This would involve at least two things: 1) online access to the framework (which precludes the offline-ness of Gears) 2) Some sort of Python -> Javascript compiler. The guys at pyjamas are working on this, but I'm not holding my breath.
If the above is really what you're wanting, just learn Javascript. It's a lot easier that way than messing with one language compiled to another. If you know Python and C that's great! Put them in a blender and you have Javascript. Here's an excellent tutorial: http://eloquentjavascript.net/contents.html and an excellent reference: http://reference.sitepoint.com/ Have fun. -tim Paul Eden wrote: > Thanks Tim, > > This is probably just me daydreaming here, but it sure would be nice > to have some convenient API to handle offline usage of web apps in the > framework. > > It would be the only framework, to my knowledge, that provides such > (probably and justifiably because it is considered out of scope). > - But what a benefit to developers! > > I don't know if such a thing is technically feasible as I haven't > investigated the details of the plugins mentioned enough to know, > mostly because I haven't had the time. > - That may be the benefit of including it in the framework. > Developers are already very busy.
