Hello everyone. I'm having trouble wrapping my mind around a project I'm
working on. My goal is to create a program that manages (allows its
users to manipulate, search by criteria and edit) objects. There is one
type of object, for example I'll say it's a car.
There will be a central data file containing all of the cars and
multiple users will have access to it at once. I'm having trouble here,
I've done some research on MOO and twisted but I'm not sure where to turn.
Sounds familiar ;-) ... on the way a lot of question are likely to
arise. Like, "OK, I've got a database. Do I load all the data at once to
the client or only on request? What about concurrent usage by different
clients (users)? How about authentification and authorisition? If I
build a rich client (a python programm with GUI and network connection
to the database), how do I manage the objects on the client?"
As James already hinted, there're fantastic python web frameworks. They
have solutions for almost all the questions that will cross your path.
There're some relgious wars about which is the best. In my opinion
Django is the best for starters. Do some tutorials, read the Django book
and you'll get an idea about the overall architcture, models, views,
templates, etc.
Additionally I'll need a GUI! tkinter? Does anyone have any suggestions
on how to get started with tkinter? I'm overwhelmed with the amount of
documentation I've had to read and think I have to read to accomplish my
goal.
I've written a rich client with PyQt which talks via web services to a
web server. It's a lot of work! You have a lot of options, performance
is amazing, but due to the complexity I would recommend to start with a
web interface.
If you really need or want a rich client, you should look into Dabo:

There's also another rich application framework which uses PyQt and
looks very good, but I forgot the name. I'm not sure about wether this
is free or commercial.
Thanks for reading, Alex.ander
