[maemo-developers] non-Hildonized v Hildonized Python app

[From: Rabson, Hugo SPC MIL USA USARPAC]

Hi,

Aside from a prettier GUI and Nokia-specific connectivity, what do I 
lose if I don't Hildonize a Python (PyGtk) app?

I'm porting an app to Windows and Linux. So far, Python w/ Gtk+Glade 
suits my needs best. It must remain a cross-platform app (one codebase, 
one embedded database, three executables residing on one directory on 
one removable disk). I am trying to find a way to keep the codebase as 
non-system-specific as possible. If I start Hildonizing the code, I 
think I'll have to either write a one-way automatic Hildonizer or 
somehow split the code into modules (one Hildonized, one 
non-Hildonized). The program is very GUI-oriented, so I'm really tempted 
not to Hildonize it at all and see if that's good enough.

So, I guess my questions are:-
1. Is there a way to automatically Hildonize an app?
2. If not, is there an easy way to keep two codebases (one Hildonized, 
one non-Hildonized) in a Python app?
3, Failing that, what do I lose by not Hildonizing the Python app at all 
(at least, not in the GUI)?

Thanks for your time. Happy Holidays & all that.
