You might take a look at pyjamas (http://pyjs.org). Using pyjamas, you can have common code for business logic and also for the GUI on web and desktop. The main data transfer/persistence mechanism in pyjamas is JSON-RPC, so that part of the model can be zope or anything that can do JSON-RPC. If you like wxPython GUI code, pyjamas code is very similar, and there are examples using PureMVC (http://puremvc.org) in the repository. You cannot, at present, use zope.interface to do automatic widget generation in pyjamas. On the other hand, it is really easy to do custom widgets and client-side display logic. You write your widgets and their behavior in python, not in HTML and javascript. Styling, however, can be done with css. In the eight months since I first experimented with pyjamas (http://www.mail-archive.com/zope@zope.org/msg31618.html), it has improved substantially. Fewer gotchas. More joy. Worth a look. - Jim Washington _______________________________________________ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
