Re: convert a web-site to a desktop app

Not sure if I understand what you want to do. Do you want to build a
rich client application? If that's the case, you can use any GUI
toolkit you want and talk to Django via web services. I use this
technique building an app which needs some high performance views of
structured data. I highly recommend using PyQt. There's a steep
learning curve involved (as for all GUI toolkits), but it pays off.
Webkit is supported, as a huge bunch of other very useful stuff (see
http://qt.nokia.com/products/ for the wrapped C++ library). The GUI
gets its data via a custom http client module (can easily be written
with urllib). I'm using a custom http protocoll (which is similar to,
but not strictly REST). Everything at the server is pure Django.
