I'm looking at rewriting some legacy VB applications and am pondering
which of the following techniques to use:
1. Browser based GUI with local web server (Browser +

to build from for a local web server)
-OR-
2. wxPython based GUI
My thought is that a browser/local web server setup may be more portable
to mobile environments than wxPython and may offer a way to scale a
single user offline application to a multi-user online application using
a remote vs. local web server. Some groups of users may feel more
comfortable with a browser based interface as well.
I'm looking for feedback from anyone that has pondered the same question
as well as any pros/cons or tips from anyone that has chosen the
browser/lcoal web server route.
Thanks,

wxPython is great for desktop applications on Linux, Windows and Mac.
However, there isn't much support for it on mobile platforms at the
moment. If you're thinking your application will be mostly for mobile
environments,
I've been looking for several months now for a way to program mobile
devices,
and indeed as Mike said, wxPython has not much support so I didn't dare
to try it.
A week ago I found PocketPyGui,
which is well supported, rock stable and qua functionality quit similar
to wxPython
and in some aspects even much easier than wxPython.
The only disadavantage is that it's only suited for windows mobile.
To give an idea, how well it works:
in a week of spare time, I build an application with about 20 screens,
build an emulator for it in wxPython ( not completely finished),
and I now consider to build a wxPython wrapper (so I only have to know 1
kind of syntax)
cheers,
Stef
