[DB-SIG] bigin with python

[Nicolas Grilly]

Hello,
 
Like you, I use Python to build a client GUI accessing a database server.
 
I build the GUI with wxPython (www.wxpython.org). I use the ODBC driver
built-in in Active State's Python distribution
(www.activestate.com/Products/ActivePython). But this driver has some
serious limitations and it can be hard to find workarounds if you don't know
very well SQL databases and ODBC drivers. It's why you can also use mxODBC
(www.egenix.com/files/python/mxODBC.html). But you need to pay (a little) if
you are a business.
 
wxPython is packaged with an excellent documentation, an excellent web site
full of useful information, and a very simple but excellent tool to build
GUI (XRCed).
 
I recommend you break your code in three tiers/modules : a module to handle
data, a module to handle views (data aware widgets and dialogs - think to
use Validators) and a module for your application itself.
 
You can also build a true .exe for Windows if you need that (idem for Mac).
 
Sincerely,
 
Nicolas
