Python as the application platform. SQLite as an embedded

be nice to use QT for user interface.
Outputs needed in PDF format, and possible PDF with fillable forms.
I can probably get my daughter to upgrade to Leopard, but if an app
could
be developed on Leopard and run on Tiger, it would be preferable.
I strongly suggest dabo, it's a three-layer framework that wraps
wxPython for GUI, database access and ReportLab - like made for your
task.
See dabodev.com and the mailing list - the docs are a bit weak...
Don't know if ReportLab can create PDF forms, I'd use ConTeXt* for such.
If you don't need to create an proper application, you can just
install all the needed modules on your daughters Mac, then you can
develop platform independent.
* an alternative to LaTeX, see wiki.contextgarden.net
