This project is simply a web browser (qtwebkit) embedded in a bare
window that automatically loads a python-based web application you write
separately.  That's all it is.  It's not a GUI toolkit or even a
web-based GUI toolkit.  It's primary purpose is to allow you to wrap up
a Python-based web app (using Flask, but I have no doubt it could handle
Django) in a little self-contained package so you can run it as if it
were a standalone app. Kind of like how Google Chrome let's you take a
url and make a virtual app out of it.
