Phillipe: Actually, it's not performance of the core app that concerns me. I'm thinking more about UI/form *design* productivity. I've done a lot of Access work over the years and while the stand-alone VB form designer isn't quite as thorough, it's still one of the slickest out there. Unfortunately, there's no designer for PyWin and wxPython's XRC is nice but not in the same league as what can be done w/ Delphi or VB. Yes, I'm aware that wxWidgets has a real form designer, but that's yet another story, for another day.
Making XRC into a more fully-featured tool (more on par w/ the aforementioned) is a way nice project unto itself, but not right now. However, the desk accessory I've mentioned is an excellent 1st step towards *possibly* doing something much bigger....
