[python] python for GUIs

[Mitch Pirtle]

Hellooooooooo........

Thought I would kick off a discussion started at the meeting's beer
fest about creating a GUI to manage websites.  The two environments
being looked at are python and XUL.

I like python because you can prototype rapidly, and there are tons of
libraries that can help out as well (wxPython, etc).  However, anyone
wanting to run the app will need these libraries and python installed.

Q:  How hard is it to distribute the executables and libraries with
the program, and how big would that file be as a base?

XUL will probably take longer to do, and will also be based on a lot
of javascript (something I detest); but will work with Mozilla-based
browsers - so no additional download for most...

Q:  For ease of distribution, is it worth the extra effort in the
development cycle?
