I would suggest you first write the basic app to work from the command line. It's easy to debug that way and enables you to focus on the critical features of your app without wasting much, if any, of your time. Once you are able to do the basics from the command line it is generally easy to wrap it in wxPython. As Luke said, there are a lot of examples out there on how to read/write to a postgresql db. At some point, probably after you try a code example or two, you may find the DB API pep helpful: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0249/ It defines the interface the db adapters (psycopg, for example) are supposed to provide you. We are happy to help when you have specific questions, too. Best, Eric. other keyword pointers include: optparse (makes handling command line options a breeze) raw_input (get user input from the command line) psycopg2 (postgresql database adapter) doctest (document your code with runnable tests) _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
