I am planning to develop School Database Management System that will run on
Windows, Linux and Mac. The application will be Server/Client and GUI based.
Have you considered basing this off existing software for schools,
like one of the programs listed on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning_management_system ?

Modules I intende to use are: Python socket module, wxPython for GUI, Open
GL for image processing , email and so on.
This is my first real python project and I really want to test myself with
this application.
Sounds like one hell of a project. Are you sure you aren't
encountering the Second System Effect
( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second-system_effect) despite this being
only your first project?
>
Some planned features is:-
SERVER
Manage Client connections
Handling Student/User registration
Handling backup
will also act as IM server (that will allow users to chat sometime)
Jabber a.k.a. XMPP ( http://www.jabber.org/web/Main_Page) would
probably be a good option for IM.
>
CLIENT
Connect to sever
Act as IM client
Retrieve data from server.
I will not be able to list all features.
My Question is:
What is the best database to use? (Flat file, cPickle, MySql, Sqlite,XML
etc)
MySQL or Sqlite, probably the former. The other ones you list aren't
really databases per se.
>
Security to make sure data is safe
Use some kind of encryption; I'd recommend using KeyCzar - http://www.keyczar.org/
>
How are binary data transferred from location x to y?, and during the
transferring what should happen if not fully transferred and assume power
goes off. Start all over again or continue?
What is the secret behind transparent file transfer like the one in Yahoo IM
(I can see what i`m transferring to you, u as well).
Don't really know what you mean by this.
>
Audio streaming.
IceCast might be a good starting point - http://www.icecast.org/
>
My intension here is to know what to do or read more and not asking you to
write code for me
Just your advice.
Good luck. Sounds like an ambitious project. Hope the pointers I gave help.
Cheers,
Chris

I'm vey new to network programing and have a few rather fundemental questions.
I'm creating a very basic UDP proxy server and having a few issues regarding the sockets. Is it possible to change the properties of a socket WITHOUT closing it and creating a new one?
Basically, I need to change the port of a bound socket, but the only way I have found to do this so far is to close the exisitng socket and create a new one. This in itself...

Hi all,
I am not sure that I am posting this in the right group but here it goes anyway. I am new to socket programming and I have been searching on the internet to the questions I am about to pose but have been unsuccessful in finding the answers so far. Either because my understanding of sockets isn't where it needs to be or my questions are too basic.
My programming environment is Windows XP, Visual Studio .NET 2003 and C#.
So here it...

I need to write a server app to send images to client GUIs that are outside
of the server's domain.
The client will have the file system path to the image but can not access
the file system.
I am trying to decide if I should use remoting vs. writing a server that
uses networkstreams.
I have read that networkstreams\tcp programming should be faster than
remoting and is a better choice for what I am doing but that it is difficult
to code.

The code below is what I am using to asynchronously get data from a
PocketPC device. The data comes in fine in blocks of 1024 bytes but
even when I send no data from the PocketPC constant blocks of 1024 with
all values set to Null arrive. Other than examine a block of 1024 to
see if the entire block is null, is there any other way to determine if

I read a network programming book (based on framework 1.1) which indicated
that you should 'never' use the RecieveTimeout or the SendTimeout 'socket
options' on TCP sockets or you may loose data. I now see the
socket.RecieveTimeout 'property' in the visual studio 2005 help
documentation (framework 2.0) and it has example of it being used with TCP
socket. This propery is also listed as 'new in .net 2.0'.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
