Interesting screencast webdevelopment using Python

Why Karrigell, in particular? Just curious.

Well, just because Karrigell will work almost any way you
can think:
Python in HTML, HTML in Python, Python in Karrigell app
server, Python
CGI script served by Karrigell. Whatever that newbie has
already done,
it ought to be a snap to get it in a browser GUI without
learning very
much. That can come on the next app.

CherryPy is a little more capable, perhaps, especially as
the load goes
up -- better proven, anyway. Handles some other things
better, easier
to come back in a few months and maintain, perhaps.
CherryPy's actually
my own first choice -- but I've used it before. Coming in
cold, never
having done an http: server thing, Karrigell holds your hand
a little
more, perhaps. Has a db built in, too, I think.

But really, I just would like to see THIS discussion in
answer to the
#1 python newbie question ("How do I put a GUI on
this?") I really
wouldn't care which server won, just so nobody mentioned
1990's vintage
desktop-only solutions. In my book, ANY response saying
"Build it in
the browser with ____" would be better than ANY
response that's
desktop-only.

Hi, Paron,

This is a silly assertion.  There are tons of things that
real, "talk to
video card directly" or GL-style GUI applications can
do that Web apps
can't.  True, it's an ever shrinking terrain, but it's
still vast.

Two obvious candidates here are FPS games and scientific
applications that
involve lots of data display and interaction.  Web browsers
*are not
good at graphics*.  Period.

Web apps are incredibly useful.  I like writing them far
better than I
like writing GUIs.  Yet I am stuck maintaining a GUI because
it would be
essentially impossible to do the same thing in a browser --
at the
least, prohibitively difficult.

And I disagree -- I think the #1 python newbie question (at
least in the
category you're speaking of) is "What web framework
should I use?" ;)
