Re: Running django on demand via my PyQt4 Standalone app

Hello,

I think installing Django purely for its ORM is a huge overkill. Why not, for example, SQLAlchemy? Or Qt's own DB layer (I'm making an educated guess here; if GTK has one, maybe Qt has its own, too.)

If you actually want to use the web framework functionality, though, that's another story, but that requires a web view in your desktop app. I'm not sure that's the way I'd go unless the web front-end is already working (in which case why bother making a desktop app?)

Best,
Gergely

This is an interesting scenario, Avraham.

I can't imagine how settings.py would be called to configure database
stuff. Could you?

It made me curious about that.
