Someone proposed that before during a discussion on how to get local programmers organized. I got some reusable code over here and with most of my development switching to Python, they are even more reusable, so we want to maximize people's time and effort. > BTW, I'm hoping to be able to develop a cross-platform database-driven > Python project for our job order management, production planning and > production scheduling, all in one.

I don't know the state of the Pg client in Windows, but I think you can put the db calls on the Linux server side and make the Windows side make high level queries over say, XML/RPC. > Big project, I know.
