I wrote an applet in Python using the Tkinter library. I finished writing the applet but now I want to make it public on my website. Does anyone know a way to get the python script to work on my website? I don't want it to have to be something that needs to be downloaded, but can just run in the browser if possible. Thanks!

@Mintaka: Tkinter apps run on the desktop, not in the web. You created an application - not an applet.Gerrat– Gerrat2011-08-10 20:49:29 +00:00Commented Aug 10, 2011 at 20:49

Ah... Hmm. Would it be possible to wrap it in Jython somehow to make it a Java applet using the code I wrote?Mintaka– Mintaka2011-08-10 20:52:21 +00:00Commented Aug 10, 2011 at 20:52

A Java applet still has to be downloaded, though it runs in the browser.Evpok– Evpok2011-08-10 21:02:24 +00:00Commented Aug 10, 2011 at 21:02

What you ask is not possible. Several years ago there was a Tcl/Tk browser plugin, but the last time anyone touched that sourceforge project was back in 2006. I seriously doubt it could be made to work with tkinter. For that matter, I doubt it works for tcl/tk either. Browsers have advanced quite a bit since then.
And no, getting it to work in jython so you can run it via a java plugin won't help. Tkinter works by working directly with a tcl/tk interpreter. The tcl/tk interpreter won't run in the JVM.
