Then you'll love Dabo (www.dabodev.com) which is built on python, wxPython, and supports databases like Postgres, MsSQL, MySQL, Firebird, and SQLite. The thinking is very similar to Visual FoxPro. Classes are close and the coding is close. If you ever used any of the VFP (clipper) frameworks then it will be old hat.
