Creating desktop widgets
Python can launch sub-processes that function separately. Using this approach it is possible to create any number of desktop widgets. This resource includes instructions to create two widgets: a simple RSS news reader and an image downloader for Astronomy Picture of the Day. Some additional Python modules must be installed - this is straight-forward on a Raspberry Pi with internet connection, or any computer with user admin rights.
