+\begin{frame}[fragile]{Desktop GUIs: wxPython}
+
+{\Large Desktop GUIs}
+
+\vfill
+{\large Traditional Graphical User Interface Applications}
+
+\vfill
+{\large Run entirely on machine -- interative, interface and logic code in one process}
+
+\vfill
+
+{\large Advantages:}
+\begin{itemize}
+   \item Easier to write -- all in one program
+   \item Faster -- data/interface direct communication
+   \item Faster display: direct to screen (or even OpenGL, etc.)
+   \item Runs without network
+   \item Save/Manipulate local files
+   \item Familiar install/start/stop/run, etc. 
+\end{itemize}

+

+
+\begin{frame}[fragile]{Python Options}
+
+
+
+{\Large Multiple GUI frameworks available:}
+
+\begin{itemize}
+  \item PyGTK
+  \item PYQT / PySide
+  \item TkInter
+  \item wxPython
+  \item PyGame
+  \item Native GUIs: Cocoa (PyObject), PythonWin
+  \item Some more minor ones...
+\end{itemize}
+
+\end{frame}
+
+\section{wxPython}
+
+\begin{frame}[fragile]{wxPython}
+
+{\Large Why wxPython?}
+
+\begin{itemize}
+  \item Python wrapper around C++ toolkit (wxWidget)
+  \item wxWidgets is a wrapper around \emph{native} toolkit:
+  \begin{itemize}
+    \item Windows: Win32 (64)
+    \item OS-X: Cocoa
+    \item Linux: GTK
+  \end{itemize}
+  \item Native look and feel
+  \item License: (modified) LGPL
+\end{itemize}
+

+{\Large Legacy: it was the best option for me when I first needed something...}

+\vfill
+{\Large Browser is the interface -- but all running local}
+
+\vfill
+{\Large Can wrap the Browser window in a desktop app: Chrome Embedded Framework, wxWebkit, etc.}
+
