I thought the main difference with things like vaadin and (gwt/pyjs) is that the vaadin components are just dumb gui elements, and all logic and calculations are performed server side - so this is quite a different to pyjs where your logic is compiled to JavaScript running in the browser. There are pros and cons to this approach but generally it means that pyjs/gwt are applicable to a wider range of applications.

Wednesday, June 27, 2012 12:49 PM I've looked at muntiacus -- a Python port of Vaadin which uses GWT with better looking themes. I wonder how what appears to be a small group (maybe one person) has produced such a powerful Python capability when Pyjs has been working on a similar product and it is still stuck in pre GWT 2.0 code. I'm still trying to figure out whether to go with this or Pyjs. http://www.muntiacus.org/ *Muntjac* is a translation of Vaadin to the *Python* programming language. It is similar to GUI toolkits for desktop applications, such as PyQT, wxPython and PyGTK. This is a very nice looking set of widgets http://nextinterfaces.com/b/which is based on http://code.google.com/p/gwtmobile/ so again another Java based (gwtmobile) toolkit that might be convertible to Python. --- On *Sun, 7/8/12, Billy Earney <billy.ear...@gmail.com>* wrote: From: Billy Earney <billy.ear...@gmail.com> Subject: [pyjs-users] converting gwt widgets to pyjs To: pyjs-users@googlegroups.com Date: Sunday, July 8, 2012, 11:04 AM Hi, I'm planning on contributing to the efforts of pyjs, and I am looking at converting gwt widgets to pyjs. I've looked at the java2py.py script, but notice that many of the pyjs widgets are implemented differently then what I would expect from an automated effort. Is there documentation somewhere that describes how this should be done, or is the "automated" more of a wish that people would like to see develop over time? Is there a list of widgets that need to be converted. If so, where is the list. If not, what version of gwt was used to create the current widgets? What advice or procedures would one take to update the widgets to 2.4 (or 2.5a) of gwt? Thanks! Billy
