There are two cases: (1) you are in control of the web app (2) you are not in control of the web app. (1) So you need to make the web app yourself too. There are several options for this the most popular ones are django and turbogears. For more see http://wiki.python.org/moin/WebFrameworks Once you have your web app up and running you can connect to it using some modules in the stdlib: http://docs.python.org/lib/module-urllib2.html http://docs.python.org/lib/module-httplib.html Basically you just create http requests in your desktop app and send those just as a browser would do. (2) You need to figure out the API of the web app you want to connect to. Once you have that use the stdlib modules to create the appropriate http requests just as above.
