I plan to deploy an app on a low end machine so I don't want 
to use X. Also, I have a feeling a text-based UI makes for more 
rapid data entry because it involves less or no mousing around.

For Linux apps where a GUI is appropriate - like an MIS app (as 
opposed to data entry) - Kylix Qt-based CLX components' 
functionality is rich and mature enough (although still far less 
so than the Win32-based VCL ones) that it makes for the tough 
choice of forgoing Python for Pascal. It would be great if you
could have your cake and eat it too: Python language power and
flexibility plus the stellar benefits of CLX (or even better, 
VCL) RAD components.
