Python + wxPython database app

Hello,

I am beginning work on a large database application, primarily for the
Win32 platform, and I would like to write it in Python with wxPython
if at all possible.

However, I have one problem.  I need access to an advanced reporting
engine.  I'd like to use Crystal Reports - is there a way to use the
Crystal Reports viewer from Python/wxWindows?  If there is another
fairly complete reporting engine that would integrate better into
Python/wxWindows, I would be more than willing to consider it.

Pythonwin may also be an option for me, if it is easier to integrate a
reporting engine into it.  However, I'm not terribly keen on that
option due to lack of documentation (or is there documentation I am
not aware of?).

And my final option (besides pure Visual Basic, which I don't really
want to do) is a Visual Basic GUI and a Python business logic layer -
but this seems like it would be a lot of extra debugging, or am I
wrong somehow?

Any advice would be most appreciated!

Thank you,
Michael
