MangaViewer - an opensource, standalone, python manga reader
Freedom Kira:
In addition to plugin operability, I greatly value efficiency. You would have my props if you manage to code this (efficiently) in C instead of scripting it in Python, which is very computation-intensive. I know that it's easy to script stuff in Python (haven't actually tried it before though), but it comes at a pretty big price computation-wise.
Now THAT should give you something to work on. Yay segmentation faults!

A comic viewer doesn't need efficiency.... this isn't 1995.
Its nice to have simple, dedicated apps, that just do what they are supposed to and aren't feature creep nightmares. I will be interested to compare it to simple comic when you release a mac .app.

are you kidding? even if that's true don't you think it's a waste of cpu/ram to run a very intensive comic reader?

Most people have buckets of CPU cycles and RAM to waste these days.
If this was for a microcontroller or other embedded system I would agree with you, but on PCs portability and speed of development are more important.

That is why java is great. Runs on most platforms without all that much fuss.
