We actually are using Pylons in a desktop app. We needed both a web version and a desktop version (because some of the deployments would be on fire trucks in places that didn't always have Internet access), and we didn't want to write two separate user interfaces. So we embed the web app in a wxPython application. We're currently using the platform's native browser (Windows: IE, Mac: Safari), but we've been experimenting with WebKit and waiting till its wxPython binding has enough features. The application is then wrapped in py2exe or py2app as a one-click installer. The effective UI has some flaws and doesn't behave totally like a desktop app, but it has been good enough to be usable. We haven't had time to port the application to Pyramid but will probably do so next year or the year after.
