Work with net - it posible?
I mean Internet, not 'localhost'.

I don't really get your question... I think you should add more details... do you mean making online games with RenPy?

[Eliont]

Yes. And this too.
But i want use RenPy Engine as GUI, like PQt or Tkinter.
It's much easier and more comfortable - no problem with layouts, images, encodings and many other.
Also in this case no need in inconvenient py2exe and pyinstaller - windows exe file will be created by engine.

Yes, it is possible. I am working on a framework to allow Twitter updates. (Right now I need to update it to match the updates to the screen language in 6.11.0k, however, this has nothing to do with network connectivity.) However, keep in mind this uses very infrequent connectivity.

Ren'Py is not really designed with constant network activity in mind. So if you need something with heavy network connectivity (constantly communicating) while a user is interacting with it, it will probably be extremely cumbersome.

What specifically did you have in mind?

Minibrowser to prewiev and download pictures posted on forums from image hosting.
Get page->analyse->grab links->filter links with images->download thumbnail (image hostings always create it), on demand - download full image.
Currently i made script using Tkinter.

You're better off using a GUI framework (based on experience, wxPython translates fairly well with Ren'Py concepts, PyGTK probably does too). Using Ren'Py to do this sort of stuff is overkill and as LordShiranai mentioned, will still be fairly difficult.

Also, Ren'Py won't fix any encoding issues you stumble upon either when working with websites. You'll still have to re-encode to whatever Ren'Py is configured for.
