However I do not write traditional database applications à la foxpro (I'm a 20 years user of fox...) anymore. Only xml-fed applications. I'm a bit hesitant to jump onboard since dabo seemns to carry over its own lot of database connectivity dependancy. Can you reasonably use dabo for plain datafree application? François Yes, the only database dependency is sqlite as a store for app-preferences. But even this could get changed easily. Uwe -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

That's exactly how I use it. I write apps that don't use database servers, and don't have any database programs installed. I just want the dabo.ui stuff, since it makes wxPython so easy to work with. Dabo has three main modules: db, biz, and ui, and an overarching application object. Every class descends from an abstract dObject. For database apps, you'd typically set some connection information in the db layer, put all your business code in the biz layer, and define your GUI in the (you guessed it) ui layer. You can certainly do what Peter has done and only use the ui layer and application object. I've done this myself and if I ever had to code a non-database UI that's probably what I'd do, too. Although I have to admit I can't really picture an application that doesn't need to save data. Here's a simple example that puts up a textbox: import dabo dabo.ui.loadUI(wx) app = dabo.dApp() app.setup() frm = app.MainForm tb = dabo.ui.dTextBox(frm, Value=Type in here, FontBold=True) app.start() You can easily define your own subclasses, too: import dabo dabo.ui.loadUI(wx) class MyRadioList(dabo.ui.dRadioList): def initProperties(self): self.Choices = [Snakes, Bees, Fishes] def onHit(self, evt): print Radio choice '%s' selected. % self.Value app = dabo.dApp() app.setup() frm = app.MainForm rl = MyRadioList(frm) app.start() So, yes, you can reasonably use Dabo even if you have no traditional database in the mix. -- pkm ~ http://paulmcnett.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
