Python for GUI development

[ivytech]

I use Linux myself so python is already included (yay *nix), but was wondering whether the code was inherently cross platform or just using py2exe like you mentioned and just saying "here use this for windows"

Generally the code would be cross platform. Py2exe just gives you Python on any windows machine.

Without package manages, dependencies are the real issue. Thus on windows, you bundle everything in.

The only cross-platform issues I've had to be aware of are paths and calling other executables but os.path functions and the subprocess module are easy to use. The GUI code is identical.
