New to this, and unsure if this is right place to ask. If this isn't
the correct place to ask the below could someone let me know where it
would be more appropriate please?

I have a flash application that has been running under Windows and I
want to rewrite it to use under Debian with Python / MySQL with a GUI
front-end.

The intention also is that touchscreens will be supported.

Are you saying you want to write an application that hosts your current
Flash app? Or are you saying you want to rewrite your Flash application
as a Python application?

The first case is possible, but it's not clear that you gain anything
over running the app inside a browser.

Assuming it is the second case, there's really no way for us to advise
you. The term "Flash application" can mean anything. There's no doubt
that it is possible -- anything that can be done in Flash can be done in
Python with a GUI framework, but there are no automated tools to do that
conversion. You'll have to sketch out what the application needs to do,
and start building the pieces.
