I forgot to mention that I got this up & running in Jython without too
much trouble.  Jython can't use CPython's external libraries (on at
least Windows platforms).  So if I wanted to use ldap and/or mysql, I
would have to code those sections in Java.  By this point, it kind of
defeated the whole point as it would have been better to have coded
the whole thing in Java instead.

I could have used a client/server model and ran the GUI in Java which
would communicate to a python based server.  I never did get around to
trying this approach, however.
