title: Browser-based application or stand-alone GUI app?
body: <p>I'm sure this has been asked before, but I can't find it. </p>
  
  <p>What are the benefits/limitations of using a browser-based interface for a stand-alone application vs. using a normal GUI framework?</p>
  
  <p>I'm working on a Python program currently implement with wxPython for the GUI. The application is simply user-entry forms and dialogs. I am considering moving to PyQt because of the widgets it has (for future expansion), then I realized I could probably just use a browser to do much of the same stuff.</p>
  
  <p>The application currently doesn't require Internet access, though it's a possibility in the future. I was thinking of using <a href="http://karrigell.sourceforge.net/" rel="noreferrer">Karrigell</a> for the web framework if I go browser-based.</p>

  <p><strong>Edit</strong> For clarification, as of right now the application would be browser-based, not web-based. All the information would be stored locally on the client computer; no server calls would need to be made and no Internet access required (it may come later though). It would simply be a browser GUI instead of a wxPython/PyQt GUI. Hope that makes sense.</p>
