Application Generators

I would like to put together a very simple inventory program. When I
ship an item, and edit the quantity; I would like the quantity _on_hand
to auto-decrement, and the quantity_to_reo rder to auto-increment.

Also, when the data is displayed in a table format, I would like to be
able to edit the quantity field as I
would in a spreadsheet, just edit that field, without having to change
to an edit-record screen.

It seems like I should be able to do this with an application
generator, but I'm not having any luck. Maybe I give up and code by
hand? It seems that application generators never do exactly what you
want, and even if they do, what about future development?

Still, I have an open mind. If anybody can suggest anything, I will
take a look.

Application generators that I have tried:

dbQwikSite: I found it difficult to get it to work, and very slow. I
had to uninstall Xampp, and install AppServ just to get it to work at
all. I don't know why, maybe Xampp's versions of php/mysql were too
new? I still can not get it to generate php code that I can use.

AppGini: works as advertised, easy to use, inexpensive, and fast. But,
frankly, it doesn't do much. As far as I could see, it doesn't even
offer the basic security of a login. It just displays data, and allows
you to add/delete records. I don't even think you can interactively
edit records. Not much reporting capability.

PHP-Runner: the best so far. Fast, easy, nice looking display, has
basic security, allows editing records. Still does not seem to have
the basic functionallity I'm looking for.

Other app generators that I have looked at, but not tried:

PHP-Peanuts
PHPMaker
phpmysql
DaDaBik
WizzyWeb
Navicat

Again, glad to read any opinions.

Below is an implementation a 'flattening' recursive generator (take a nested iterator and remove all its nesting). Is this possibly general and useful enough to be included in itertools? (I know *I* wanted something like it...) Very basic examples: >>> rl = , '678', 9]] >>> list(flatten(rl)) >>> notstring = lambda obj: not isinstance(obj, type(''))

A little annoyed one day that I couldn't use the statefulness of generators as "resumable functions", I came across Hettinger's PEP 288 (http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0288.html, still listed as open, even though it's at least a year old and Guido doesn't seem very hot on the idea). I'm not too sure of its ideas on raising exceptions in generators from outside (although it looks like it might be convenient in some cases), but being able...

As a side track of my latest investigations, I began to rely heavily on generators for some stuff where I would previsouly use a more conventional approach.

In both cases, a simple list comprehension can't be used. The conventional approach involves...

Hi All, I have written an application generator that allows developers to build business applications for MS SQL Server in just a fraction of the time it used to take. All you need to do is create the tables and answer a few yes or no questions about each table. The generator does the rest. In order to promote my generator to developers, I am issuing the following challenge:

I've been using generators to implement backtracking search for a while now. Unfortunately, my code is large and complex enough (doing unification on math expressions) that its hard to post a simple example. So I decided to look for a simpler problem that could be used to demonstrate the technique that I am talking about. I noticed that PEP 255 (Simple Generators) refers to an implementation of the "8 Queens" problem in the lib/test...
