Hi list,
I was triggered by the question about Turbogears. However we are currently trying to rewrite an application that uses wxPython to a webapplication.
Is there a project that uses the syntax of wxPython but generates html instead of local X-calls?
I would think that it is a very complex project but would really love it if there was something like that around.
Cheers,
D. Kniep

nope, though it has been talked about on this list.

It sure would -- in fact, I think impossible to do in a satisfactory way -- the paradigm of desktop and web apps is so different.
One could certainly write an API that would build both, but I think it would have to be designed for that purpose (see the GWT for a JAVA/web solution). You could also probably port a web app API to the desktop, but I think the way to do that is to embed a browser, i.e. what I did with the BILS approach.

look at http://pyjd.org/
it will not help you but they implement the idea of running the same code on desktop and web.

yup -- I should have mentioned that -- indeed, that is an example of my point -- you can do it if you design the API with that in mind, rather than trying to force fit a desktop API into a web app.

Actually, I misspoke -- that's really another way to do a BILS app -- the browser is the interface -- They are embedding WebKit in a simple desktop wrapper.
