UI for cherrypy based desktop app   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #331 of 364 |
Hi everyone,

I am a python noob looking to get better in that domain. I have previously programmed in multiple languages including Java and these days its mostly with JavaScript and ActionScript/Flex so am pretty okay with programming in general.

I am trying to write a desktop app that pulls users rss feeds and renders them in a UI. I was thinking that instead of a UI toolkit like tk or something, I could render them in html on an embedded browser (I have worked quite a bit with Adobe AIR, so I am kinda looking for an AIR like app but leveraging Python). Has anyone done this before? Basically I would like the entire app to be a native window with embedded browser. One option I have seen is trying to use Appcelerator whose latest version includes ability to use Python scripts (http://www.appcelerator.com/products/titanium-desktop/). Didnt know if there was a better way. 

Thoughts?

A second vote for wxPython. They have a demo you can download and install on your computer to play with all the different widgets...I am sure there are a few...
