G'day,
I'm developing my first desktop application with python and a database
(to track cycling track sprinters, if anyone's interested, using
sqlite at the moment, but anything lightweight is fine) - and have
been poking around various IDE's and database layers that work with
Python, SQLAlchemy seems to be the neatest way to tie a class to a
database without having to manually do all the database 'stuff' by
using the ORM. If only this stuff existed back when I was at Uni and
trying to work out how to save a C structure, wow .. but anyway .. !
I've found Pythoncard as an IDE and toolkit, but it seems a bit
inactive, I'm developing on Windows XP 32 bit and am wondering what
sort of IDE works well with SQLAlchemy and wxPython? Should I just
use the pythoncard editor (which works well enough as an editor but
the whole setup of GUIs in template files is something I'm unsure
about) or is there a better alternative? I'm using wxGlade to mockup
my interfaces and then copying the bits it generates into my program,
but am wondering if there's any SQLAlchemy-aware IDE's that might
speed up making forms and so on, rather than coding them all by hand?
That would be nice but I am not aware of one.
Personally I use Boa to develop, it has a GUI designer built in you can
use to generate the dialogs/frames etc and I then use validators to load
data to/from the controls.
Dabo (http://www.dabodev.com/) might also be an alternative you want to
look at, also it has is own db access stuff - I asked in the past if
they don't want to switch to SA but there doesn't seem to be any
interest in doing this.
