I definitly do only this and hope to never have to come back in the
jungle of natives gui more or less pythonics !

I did my own very little framework hacking CGIHTTPServer... It's so
simple that it let me create a litle .exe with py2exe ! Really
impressive !

But i look more and more at www.twistedmatrix.com somebody could embed
it with py2exe ?

I can share my work but i did'nt take time to write any
documentation. Contact me by email if you are interested.

bye
