Hi Don -- You could make web2py run as a service as soon as the computer starts up. Then an icon could point to the URL needed to start the web app. It would launch like any other program, from a desktop icon. But, of course, it would also be deliverable over the web.
I'm also very interested in doing some "rich applications" with pyjamas and web2py. Massimo has made it easy to use JSON with web2py, so it oughta make pyjamas an easy extension. -- Joe B.
