I'm wondering;

If I built some useful piece of python code to e.g. scrape a website or to calculate sometingsomething big, at some point I might want to add a GUI to my project. For this I could use Tk,Qt Qt,Pygame Pygame or any python graphic/GUI framework.

Now I alsowantalso want this tool to be usable by clients without the need for a python installation. Of course I could use something like py2Exe or py2Dmg. But wouldn't it be cooler to use a python-based web framework for this? Something like Django or Pyramid.

What would be the drawbacks of doing this? Can I just use the framework to execute my code on a server and only return the result? Or will this get tricky when there are multiple users?

Thanks!
