They server different needs. A desktop application is going to give you direct client-side access to the filesystem and network resources. It will also give you the potential for threaded processing if needed. But the downside would be that its not as portable as a web solution. A web solution means that anyone with a connection to the network can access the application, without library dependencies. But it might require that you centralize various types of operations on the server-side, that might have been able to be performed client side in a desktop application. All of your access to the filesystem and various other network resources (unless already exposed as an http service) would need to be served up by an API on your backend.
So I suppose the answer is... which ever best serves your specific needs? If you have no problem with making a python-based desktop app available to everyone that needs it, and you know PyQt better than you know jquery + css + a python web framework, then stick with PyQt. If a big priority is that someone is able to access the latest version of your service, at any location in the world, on various platforms (even mobile), then focus on a web app. On Mon, Dec 23, 2013 at 8:06 PM, Panupat Chongstitwattana < [email protected]> wrote: > Would you recommend it over PyQt Justin? > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Python Programming for Autodesk Maya" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/python_inside_maya/1339986c-b21e-458c-a484-6600ad27056b%40googlegroups.com > . > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Python Programming for Autodesk Maya" group.
