RAD with Python

[Ubaidullah Nubar]

Hi,

How well is Python suited for developing database based applications?
I am new to Python so please bear with me if some of the questions are
too simple. I specifically have the following questions:

1. Is there an example of a simple data-entry application written in
Python using a GUI interface? Something like a simple address book app
with a listbox displaying all addresses with the ability to
add/modify/delete.

2. There seem to be a number of GUI frameworks available? Which one is
good for use on Windows and Linux?

3. Can Python apps be compiled to an exe? Can the resulting executable
be distributed commercially?

4. What types of applications are not suitable to be written in
Python?

I have good knowledge of many languages including C++, Assembler,
Java, etc. My preferred development tool is Clarion currently. If
anybody with a Clarion background can share their experience with
Python, that will be very helpful.

Appreciate your answers...

Thanks & Regards,
Ubaidullah Nubar.
