Off the cuff, I think the layer would decouple your store (the db) and the UI. So, you can actually make a GUI, a web based UI etc. for the same application. Also, it would decouple your front end from a specific database. On the negative side, it's one more thing that needs to be written and maintained and is a point of failure especially when large number of clients connect simultaneously. I'd value the opinions of some of the more experienced programmers on this list. -- ~noufal _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
