Scripting nice & well performing user interfaces in next to no time :-) Works like a charm on all Gtk+ capable Linuxes/BSD/Unixes as well as Windows. AFAIK, should work on OSX too. Horst

My assessment would be similar to that of Horst, though I use psycopg as my DB Interface. I prefer psycopg because it is designed from the ground up for high performance in highly threaded applications, which is important for me. It also has some nice extensions over and above the standard Python DBI, eg. per cursor commits. Python is definitely the scripting language of choice for it's clean syntax and ease of debugging (ie. greater productivity) and wxPython (based on wxWindows) whilst having a steeper learning curve than say Tkinter (and sometimes a somewhat non-Pythonic feel) has a richer widget set, a professional look and feel, and a development team committed to Python support. Both solutions are highly portable. John __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
