DjangoKit is a native-widgets project, and will probably stay that way. I very much like the idea of Windows and linux-specific native- widget projects to complement it. The core of the thing was very easy to write - the hardest part was getting the packaging system to behave, so there probably won't be a lot of effort duplicated between the platforms here. > 2) Database... > > It makes sense to me to require SQLite for this to work.

This, on the other hand, _can_ be shared nicely. And has nothing to do with a GUI wrapper. A framework that will do 2-way sync between 2 django applications / databases can be worked on in the absence of working wrappers. > 3) Anything else? (a) One thing I've been finding is that many django apps I've found aren't really written as apps, but tend to be tied very heavily to the project they're developed in. I've only just joined django-users, so maybe this is covered a lot. But because djangokit provides it's own project and expects the thing you're packaging to be a stand-alone app, it's hard to find nice demos. (b We're going to find lots and lots of different deployed versions of the app's DB schema in the wild, so upgrades will be nasty. With proper 2-way sync, you could just tell the remote user to sync, blow away their DB, then re-sync, but if you're trying to write a simple stand-alone app, you'll need upgrade scripts. tom --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
