design choice: multi-threaded / asynchronous wxpython client?

[Eric Wertman]

HI, that does look like a lot of fun... You might consider breaking
that into 2 separate programs.  Write one that's threaded to keep a db
updated properly, and write a completely separate one to handle
displaying data from your db.  This would allow you to later change or
add a web interface without having to muck with the code that handles
data.
