No, I hadn't. It's a little hard to tell what the heck it really is from the web page..the usual marketing-speak, no mention of wx, for instance. However, these are our needs: The web version needs to run on a basic browser, with not extra plug-ins or custom clients. We'd like to make the stand-alone version share as much code as possible with the web version. That means the same GUI, which means it would run in a browser. It also needs to be a simple install, i.e. not MySQL + apache + our app. Activegrid really doesn't seem to provide this, but I'll look into it more. While I'm talking to Kevin: The other idea I had was to use wxMozilla, to embed a browser in a wxPython app, then we could use the same code to generate all the HTML, and display the UI through wxMozilla, without having to use a client-server set up and http. This came up because apparently some Windows systems turn off all TCP/IP when the Ethernet cable is disconnected. My question is: with wxMozilla, can you capture all the GET and/or POST events, so that you can essentially run a web app and browser all within one process? -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer NOAA/OR&R/HAZMAT (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
