Porting python app to silverlight or flash

Question

I guess that title is self-explanatory. Is there any such effort been made?

Some more info:

it's client application (gui intensive)

By porting I was thinking of cross-compiling.

Answer 1

i havent done this but it shouldnt be to difficult to port python o silverlight because you should be able to use IronPython and add clr references to your python code to start using the silverlight assemblies.

Answer 2

Between the two, porting to Silverlight is going to be much easier. You can target IronPython and focus primarily on changing/replacing the libraries that you've used in your Python app that aren't available in IronPython.

"Porting" to Flash would be more reasonably written as "rewriting a Python application in ActionScript." Which, of course, would be easier than a from-scratch implementation, but would be largely a new effort.
