I've done quite a lot of testing with Pylons, XUL, mako, i18n and direct 
database connections using psycopg2.  Haven't played with SQLAlchemy.

 From a developers point of view it makes a lot of sense to use XUL as 
it provides a rich client UI from simple xml markup.  There are a number 
of gotchas, however,  that will bite you if you use the tree component 
as it gets bogged down with 4,000+ rows of data. The other issue is that 
it is Gecko based which rules out all the other browsers.

I've got a real simple demo at http://rio.microshare.net that should be 
self explanatory.

Feel free to email me (off-list) if you'd like to continue the discussion.

Uwe.
