wxpython on web applications?

Ok, thanks for the help.

I will need something on the web because it is sort of a one time use
and the user will not want to download it. Is it possible to make an
executable on the web? If so how do I learn about it? Is there a sort of
web-python I should use instead of wxpython? Thanks.

Jeff

application?

They can download and install it. You really don't want them trying to
run it off your server.

as Grant mentioned, that is a web app, which is a whole different ball of wax. Do a google for "Python web application framework" and you'll get a LOT!

executable on the web? If so how do I learn about it?

That being said, you can run an app of a server, so if you let your users mount your server, they might be able to run your app off of it. However, this is a BIG security issue. I don't think I'd even consider it outside of a closed network.
