I cant tell you much about accounting software, but what i know is that there are python binding for qt and gtk, just look for PyQt4 and pygtk. Another toolkit with bindings i I know about is wxWidgets with wxPython. I'm sure, there are bindings for your preferred toolkit. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards Randolph Maaßen
