Hi,=20

I too felt like if we use python we need a platform independent widget
set like wxwidget or similar...

Shall we consider java for this..cos it score good points in
The following areas

* Truly platfrom independent as jvm available for all or most of the
platfrom.
* JNI (java native interface) can be used for interaction with c code.
* Good number of tool kit options AWT, SWT, Swing...
* Systray API's available for windows and linux see
http://systray.sourceforge.net/

Your thoughts please??

We'd need a widget set, when we don't want to run in a web browser. I'd
go this route. Using a cgi or similar would even allow us to get remote
statistics using lynx -dump.

Python + tkinter? Would be platform independent but I don't like tk too
much.
