[BangPypers] GUI framework in Python...

[Vishal]

<rant>I wouldn't recommend option (c) as writing GUI code over
HTML/JavaScript is the most painful development option even if you
were to use those fancy and buggy GUI javascript toolkits.</rant>

Any specific reason for this? The one I can think of is cross browser
compatibility.
I can force the users to use Google Chrome only :)) or any other good
browser.
and since the application is going to be mostly a local app...(as in the
sever and client stay on the same machine) one can also think of using a
simple browser which does not necessarily confirm to all the HTTP standards.
(not sure how well thought that option will be...)
