You should really check out Dabo. It is an application framework
designed to create database apps in a really Pythonic way. Probably
the best way to start is to check out the screencasts - they really
show just how cool Dabo is. I'd start with the one on quickly creating
a database app:

The rest of them are listed at http://dabodev.com/documentation. I've
been using the UI module from Dabo for over a year, and it's
rock-solid.
