Rapid web app development tool for database

[George Sakkis]

Is there any tool in python (or with python bindings) like Oracle
Application Express, former HTML DB
(http://www.oracle.com/technology/pro...ess/index.html)
? Ideally it should be dbms-agnostic, e.g. by using SQLObject to talk
to the database. The closest I can think of is Dabo, but it (currently)
supports wxPython only for the UI. If there isn't anything like this
out of the box, what would the best starting point be for implementing
such a system ? Extending Dabo, a web framework (e.g. Django), or
something different ?

AFAICT, Dabo is supposed to grow a web UI someday, so if it's close to
what you're looking for, you may want to make this happens sooner !-)

Else, you could have a look at Django, Turbogears or Pylons.

TurboGears has Catwalk. Have a look at that. It is a web UI that let's
you manipulate the db. Have a look at the the TG Toolbox.
