Hi,
I want to write an application for the hospital I'm working to.
I'm newbie in python, and I want to hear some opinios about what are
the options I have..
The structure I have in mind is : At Server we will have an
application that handles business rules, connects to databases, and
send objects to the clients .
At client we will have an wxPython application that will talk to the
server application
Some things this application must provide
* Ability to change the database
I think one way tho achieve this is via Object Relational mapper.
Have anyone implemented a library like this in python ?
* Pool of connections.
In the application I have today all clients have their own
connections to the database. Today I'm using Interbase (free one) but
what if the hospital need a commercial database in the future ? With
a pool of connection we can spent less money, and this is issue in a
hospital in little city of Brazil.
* The communication between the server and the client must be
encrypted.
Personal information of the patients can't run unencrypted over the
wire.
I know that this is difficult application to write, so I want to hear
some design hints, what are the difficulties I'm going to face. What
libraries I can use.
Sorry my english and thanks in advance
