This might work...

If you really want to go with an out of the box working desktop client, what about the following work flow:
- Write it in php
- Encrypt certain parts with SourceGuardian
- Package your encrypted source code + the loader + python or php executables together into one CLI executable (plenty of free tools that can do this, which eliminates end-users from having to install php on their local devices)
- Build your graphical user interface on top with node webkit (NWJS), which simply controls your compiled cli tool and returns the output. As well as making the api calls to your server. That way, the end-user won't even need to have his own server or has to install any dependencies. Pretty much an out of the box working solution.
