Suggest a standalone python web framework?
I don't think that any web framework is specifically oriented for the use case you're talking about;  They all assume they are running on a server and there's a browser on a remote machine that is accessing them.
A better approach is to think about the HTTP server you'll be using.  It's probably preferable to use a server that's as easy to pack and ship as the rest of the python code you'll be using.  Now most frameworks provide a 'development' server that's easy to invoke from the command line, but most of them are intended to be "easy for the developer" which often means they are restricted to a single thread.  This is bad for deployment because single threaded servers will always feel a bit sluggish.
CherryPy stands out in contrast, by providing a full featured, embedded server that's easy to configure for many use cases, and is available by default with the rest of the framework.  There are probably others, but I haven't used 'em.
I have a python program that I would like to present as a simple web application.  The program currently uses sqlite for storage.  I also need to distribute the whole thing to colleagues so having something standalone and easy to start would be ideal ( no install if possible).  This web app is meant to be used locally , not by multiple users over a network.
Is there a suitable python framework that might fit my needs?  I looked at Django so far but it seems a bit heavy handed for what I need.
Thanks for any suggestions.
