I am intenionally *not* trying to argue web vs traditional gui for your app, but to tuck away for future apps, CherryPy2 is a lot easier than Zope to use and programming it does not require much of a learning curve. Recently I did a simple app that started as wx Windows, got bogged down, and switched to CherryPy/Cheetah running locally on the users station. I know more about wxWindows now than before, so perhaps things would be different now, but at the time the gui was really slowing my down my development. I had a hard time getting my hands around the wxWindows sizers. They are simple in concept, but not easy to learn at first in practice. I went w/wxPython for a second app because of its printing capabilities and the large number of controls that come with it. Otherwise I would use pyFltk for small apps. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
