Hello,
I have written a couple of mini applications that used Tkinter (simple
toolkit for building Python GUI apps) and utilized the Django ORM with
PostGreSQL. I imported Django using code like:
PathDjangoRoot="/var/djangoroot/"
if(not PathDjangoRoot in sys.path):
sys.path.append(PathDjangoRoot)
from django.core.management import setup_environ
import djangoproject.settings
setup_environ(djangoproject.settings)
from djangoproject.models import *
I used Py2exe to create executables without any special issues, though
keep in mind that the programs were simple and ran with PostGreSQL
installed on each desktop.
You should be able to make Desktop programs look at the database
server while still having the admin interface available through Apache
on the server.
