any recommendations? any opinions?
I want to learn to program in python and need a gui reference. I'll be
updating various mysql tables. I have most of the code ready to roll by
using a command line. I need put some lipstick on my project.
pyQT seems viable but there is not really a good reference and tutorial
so now I'm considering wxPython and saw this book and I'm wanting to know if
if's even worth spending my $40 on.
It's a great book. However, before diving in, take a moment to think about
how you expect to use this. When I have an app that mostly dinks with a
database, I almost always decide to put a web front-end onto it. That way,
I can run it locally (using CGIHTTPServer or CherryPy or something
similar), or I can plop it onto a web site and run it EVERYWHERE.
The thought processes are the same -- you create UI, you handle events.
You also might look at Dabo, which is a wrapper around wxPython for exactly
this kind of app.
