I think the most difficult part of your python application will be the gui. It would be great if venster ran on Windows CE, but venster requires ctypes and I don't see any way of making ctypes work there. Win32gui was modified some time ago to add support for dynamic dialogs. That is, windows

There is a pythonCE version of apache which will run as localhost. Normally winCE has no concept of localhost - so this is your best bet. I don't have the URL, but google should find it. For testing on the desktop Xitami is a great server to use as localhost. You'll then be programming CGIs to

This is the url for apacheCE http://www.rainer-keuchel.de/wince/apache-ce.html I may well be wrong about pocket PC not working with localhost. I was sure I'd read it before - so hadn't experimented - certainly the apache page shows apache using the loopback address. I'd assumed it was a hack. I'

I've been writing a form-filling app in Tkinter. I don't like it much, honestly -- I am much more comfortable in html. Can you provide any links to examples/tuts of the tiny http server / browser idea? Desktop is fine, I can adapt, I think.   I just haven't seen it done on the desktop, but I

Hello Bryan, Python on windows CE works well... but not you have *two* problems. I would call the python port 'experimental'. The core language works very well - but the user interface is ropey. This means there is *no* production code (that I'm aware of anyway) using python for CE and writing y
