Re: can django be used in destop application?

Django is modular enough that most of its parts could probably be
replaced with desktop oriented
modules, like rendering QT templates instead of HTML templates.. which
is great.

If not you can probably use a embed browser engine (like webkit) and
run your app like a website
locally and get somewhat the look and feel of a desktop application.

That said, your real problem will arise when your application will
need to do things that doesn't adhere to
the REST api. Then you'll need to find a way to save your application
state and that's pretty much
when shit will hit the fan IMHO.

If the desktop application(s) you want to build are all easily
translatable for the web (using a REST api that is),
I think it's theoretically possible. But try to do anything out of
this scope and you will bitten at every corners.

In other words, not really worth the troubles.
