flet VS Wails

> When you run flet build command it ... Packages Python app using package command of serious_python package. -- https://flet.dev/docs/guides/python/packaging-app-for-distri...

It looks like Flet is for client-side code. It lets you write Flutter apps with Python instead of Dart.

> Simple Architecture - No more complex architecture with JavaScript frontend, REST API backend, database, cache, etc. With Flet you just write a monolith stateful app in Python only and get multi-user, realtime Single-Page Application (SPA). -- https://flet.dev

If I'm writing Python that runs on the mobile device, it must talk to a server to read & write data. Doesn't this still require an API backend, database, cache, etc?

I just learned of Flet (https://flet.dev) which seems interesting for Python. I may try this as well.

When developing or selecting an MRZ (Machine Readable Zone) recognition SDK, the primary challenge lies in finding an appropriate dataset for testing. Acquiring genuine MRZ images is challenging, and due to privacy concerns, they aren't publicly accessible. Therefore, crafting MRZ images becomes a practical solution. Fortunately, there's an open-source Python MRZ generator project, available for download from pypi, eliminating the need to start from scratch. This article aims to illustrate how to integrate and run Python scripts within web applications. First, We will showcase how to employ the Python MRZ SDK and Flet to construct a cross-platform MRZ generator. Subsequently, we will reuse the Python script with Pyodide, HTML5, and the Dynamsoft JavaScript MRZ SDK, creating an advanced online MRZ tool that can handle both MRZ creation and MRZ detection.

"The fastest way to build Flutter apps in Python" is the title of Flet's web page. As someone coming from the Flutter world reading the line I draw an ideal picture of "swapping Dart language for Python and magically having the whole power of Flutter framework and the tips of your fingers".

Well I haven't seen anyone mention Flet, which is pleasant (if maybe not all that complete) if you have Dart/Flutter experience, so increment your counter at least one. :-)

This is basically the same tech stack of an app I’ve been planning to build, but deployed as a desktop application using Wails: https://github.com/wailsapp/wails

Wails 2.6k

The wails project does this when. You can check it out here https://github.com/wailsapp/wails/blob/master/v2/internal/typescriptify/typescriptify.go for inspection.

I have built Web front-ends (React or Svelte) with Go-backend. Embed in a web-view to make it a native desktop app, or get funky and give it native chrome/menus etc. [Wails](https://github.com/wailsapp/wails) is a good candidate to start if you want to cut on boiler plate.

Is that what wails is doing here? (On mobile)

In a "local" environment, where an executable can be provided to someone with the entire game contents. In this case, the game won't use WebSockets, and will instead use a Go/JS bridge (something like Wails) to connect.
