Ho to all, What about the middle choice between VB + SAPDB and Java + SAPDB as Python/wxPython + SAPDB? Is it possible to use it as an enterprise production application development framework? Consider that we can hard code number crunch libs (C , C++ , Java) and embedding in python a wrapper on it. Could be a 'Killer App' the flexible cross platform Python/wxPithon+SAPDB vs (VB+SAPDB && Java+SAPDB)??
