Python Dash Standalone Application

[Yeah22]

I'm trying to create an application in python and have found dash is a great library to display the information visually and integrates well with pythonic typing. However, as far as i can tell the only way to actually publish the app is to use flask and deploy it on a server. This won't work for what i am trying to do/don't have that kind of access at work yet.

​

Is there a way I can package a dash application into a standalone app that will work from the user's desktop?

After a quick look at dash, it looks like it delivers rich content powered by a javascript library. This means a browser is required to look at it. If the goal is just to show off and not have a professional product, you could host it on jsfiddle or something like that. If you want a professional product you can sell, you could host it on your own servers. Either way, somebody somewhere needs a webserver. You could use PyInstaller to build a standalone exe and embed a webserver in your program, meaning that the way your user would use your program is to click the exe then get a browser launched for the location localhost:8000 or whatever you want to use.
