Python desktop widgets

Question

I'm interested in making desktop widgets, similar to Apple's Dashboard or what Vista has. I'd like to make them cross-platform, if possible. Opera's widgets are cross-platform but require the user to have Opera installed, so that's a big limitation.

I know most widgets are made with HTML/XML, CSS, and Javascript. Is there a way to create them using Python?

Update: I did find a site talking about Pyjamas. Does anyone have experience with it and, if so, what are its capabilities/limitations?

Answer 1

You should take a look at what the guys at Digsby are doing. Basically, they've written a port of WebKit to wxWidgets, and then use WebKit to render the interface, and wxPython for writing the rest of the app. Pretty neat, but very alpha at the moment.
