Building Desktop Applications
It's been a long time since I had to build GUI applications for desktop users. Recently, the subject of desktop applications has come back at work with some questions about 4GL tools for rapid application development.
I think I've found a better path: Python + wxPython + py2exe + Nullsoft Scriptable Install System I can build wxPython applications on my Linux box, create Windows executables with py2exe and provide a nice installer with NSIS. This allows me to be productive in a powerful language I love and not make any unreasonable demands of my non-technical user base. The relevant links are: http://www.py2exe.org/ http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Main_Page http://hmne.sourceforge.net/
