GUIs are a weak point, or were last I looked. There are at least three GTK+ interfaces. Database access is handled very nicely with CLSQL, which does OR mapping right. I've not written code to 'consume web-services,' but I daresay that NET.HTML.CLIENT (believe that's the name) would do the trick. -- Robert Uhl <http://public.xdi.org/=ruhl> If anybody can show me in the Bible the command, 'Thou shalt not smoke,' I am ready to keep it; but I haven't found it yet. I find ten commandments, and it's as much as I can do to keep them; and I've no desire to make them into eleven or twelve. --C. H. Spurgeon -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
