web2py is distributed as an executable, "stand alone" application, with "welcome" as the default application. You could build your own executable, with your own application included (as the "default" to come up - you can put it in "init" to accomplish this).
In that way, you would have a "stand alone" distributable application that would come as an executable (for Windows, or Mac - someone else would have to say how this works for Linux)..... It would still be a web application, that would come up in the end user's browser - but it would be one executable to "click" on, and it would come up in your app. Is this something like what you had in mind?
