Rapid desktop application development
I am looking for Stephan Eilert who was an exchange student from Germany to the U.S. (Northern California) in the 1980's. Could you possibly be one in the same? Monica Erwin-Francis -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Rapid desktop application development
Hi all, There has been much hype lately about web "megaframeworks", like TurboGears, Django and Rails(Ruby side). Those are all fantastic frameworks, nicely integrated so that the user can focus on solving his problem, instead of doing all the scaffolding and framework integration by hand. Now, I am not a fan of web applications so I'm creating a few GUI applications using Python. Thanks to wxPython, those are all native-looking, with powerful components. This is quite nice. Now, I want to use some OR-Mapper, so I chose SQLObjects. This is nice too. I do have to write controllers, model, and all the glue code between the frameworks by hand. However, I don't have to do that with a framework such as TurboGears, for web applications. Everything is neatly integrated so that I just have to "fill in the blanks". It would be the same application, except that the presentation is GUI-based, instead of Web-based. MVC architecture too and so on. Are there any frameworks like those, for GUI applications? It would be interesting to abstract away that repetitive work. Thanks, Stephen -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
