Hi Jim

There is much, much more about it.

Flask is a web framework, to develop web applications using Python. It does
not access the browser in any way.

NW.js is an implementation of Chromium engine / the embedded Chromium
browser for desktop applications using JavaScript en other front-end
languages.

CEF (Chromium Embedded Framework) is a tool, which provides the possibility
to embed / develop your own browser, in whatever language you choose - as
long as there are bindings for that language available. CEF Python are these
bindings for Python especially.

You can look at CEF and CEF Python as the core functionality of NW.js or
Electron, but with the possibility to script it better and write your own
tools such as this.

Using Flask and CEF, you should be able to write an app in Python, just like
you would using HTML, CSS and JavaScript in NW.js. But, keep in mind that
there will be much more to do. You need to implement a lightweight webserver
(python), for example.

Hopefully, this message could give you some clarification.

Your sincerely,

Jordy Deweer

Hi,

Is the difference between Flask and the other two items in the subject of
this message that Flask uses the web browser as the front end and the others
do not, or is there a lot more to it?

Thanks.

Jim
