This may be a perennial subject. If this is an oft-repeated request, I sincerely apologize for wasting bandwidth.

I have a database application I would like to build in Python. I use MacOS X as my primary machine, but historically I have supported old MacOS and Windows machines. This makes it hard for me to abandon the "cross-platform" mindset. I like tools that ease the creation and deployment of applications.

The ideal solution for me would be a tool set that is similar to popular RAD tools such as 4D, Omnis Studio and the like. Using these have spoiled me rotten as a programmer, and I find myself balking at the installation requirements of the pythonic stuff I have looked at. That is, as I work through the steps I wonder how on earth an end user will deal with this.

I have experience with OOP, OOA&D and have about 16 years experience writing various stand-alone, client/server and n-tier business applications. I am getting a handle on Python, and I have written a couple of "faceless" applications with it.

Perhaps I just need a good "not quite a dummy" article, book or something. I have read "Learning Python" and make good use of python.org resources. Still, I haven't found joy with user experience tools yet.

I would be most grateful for any links or suggestions.

TIA,

Mark Phillips
