I've been a PHP and Perl programmer (amongst others) for 10 years or
more now, and a Python coder for 3 or so.
I have come to hate PHP now, it's pseudo-OOP is awful, it's dog slow at
handling XML, it's so easy to use that most of the programmers I've had
contact with are very sloppy and do things

I'd go with a MySQL / Python / Apache route, but if it's Windows, maybe
not.
Also, you shouldn't store images in a database - images should be on
the filesystem with their paths stored in the database.
I'd definitely say going the web application route would be easier (and

All looks like good news, especially PyQt4 - one question, if it's

OK, I've implemented the 2sec threaded update, but I'm having some

Basically the thread will have to just run constantly, never exiting

button, not after
Damn! signal is not supported on Windows.
time.sleep() doesn't work, as I suspected::

Ha anyone tried cross compiling python with mingw? At work we

our software for lots of platforms (including windows) on a linux

It would be interesting if we could do this with python + extensions
also.

are really bad.
the last company i worked for who used x/mp actually went back to shell
