I've used it for some ETL work (slurping in CSV files and churning them into the DB), which granted, had both a web front-end and a CLI front-end. The distinction is a bit odd, as on the web, things are either static or dynamic. And if they're dynamic, that's somewhat the definition of a "web application". So the only escape clause seems to be doing non-web related work. In a way, it's kinda silly to use a web framework to do non-web-work. Possible, but there are likely other better ways to do it. I've seen a couple posts float by where somebody was doing a GUI application (I don't remember whether it was tkinter or wxPython based) that used the underlying Django framework but I haven't heard anything more about that. I'd be leary of doing such if it involved more than personal use, as you need to distribute the DB password to each client. But for personal use, it might suffice. -tim --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
