Might want to check out: https://flet.dev/docs/cookbook/packaging-desktop-app/

#13Earlier quoted context omitted.
So If I make a request from the python code, is the request executed in the browser ? or on the server ? Is the UI layer executing in the browser and use proxy rpc from the server ?
All the python code, including requests are executed on the server Take a look at https://google.github.io/mesop/internal/architecture/ for an explainer on how the client-server interaction works and let me know if you have any questions!
Yay, thank you :-) going to take a look!

The error is: partially initialized module 'pandas' has no attribute '_pandas_datetime_CAPI' (most likely due to a circular import) This happens only on the second interaction.
OK thanks. I've filed an issue here: https://github.com/google/mesop/issues/345 if you could share with us a repro (the Mesop code you're running) on the issue, that would be helpful in debugging this. If you take a look at the "table" example on the demo gallery: https://google.github.io/mesop/demo/ it shows how to use Pandas w/ Mesop, so I'm not sure what's going on.
ok, will look at the issue and add an example if possible. The code I was executing was one of the example code present on the site. So nothing special.

#15Will you guys ever just do Python -> WASM? I think the next "Big break" for front-end web dev is literally this. I've been using Microsoft's Blazor (C#) which is this, with a mix of back-end and front-end capabilities, and I just don't see any reason to ever use JS or React again.

How does it compare with https://flet.dev/ ?
Does it compete in the niche of making simple things easy and hard things possible?

#18I've seen a bunch of people recommending alternatives that are also Python based, makes me wonder if there's similar things for other languages like Go, Rust, etc

#19My standing question is "How do you handle accessibility"? Are the resulting apps accessible by default for people with screen readers? About peoplewith other disabilities?

#20I've had a quick look through the docs/demos.
At the moment I use Flask/htmx/tailwind for my apps, but I like how succinct this framework is, but how themable is it?
