Hello All, I am interested in setting up a modest invoicing system for some consulting I am doing. I like the idea of managing this on the web and creating invoices and printing them from a browser. However, I'm not really sure where to start. I've played with some CMS applications, but they seem more for blogging (mamba, wordpress, etc.). Ideally, I would like to interface with mySQL (or whatever the favorite web-flavor database app is these days). I would like to be able to use my python skills.
I confident that if I set out to write this from scatch, I will be seriously re-inventing the wheel, perhaps several times over. So, my question is, does anyone know of a book and/or some kind of framework that would make the best sense for what I am describing here? I've heard of Zope, but I would like to make sure its appropriate for the job before I spend 2 or 3 days getting acquainted with it. I'm adept at HTML, python, CSS, python-CGI, and interfacing with mySQL through DBI. I'm sure I could get something to work with these skills, but I want to minimize wheel re-invention as much as possible. Basically, I want a jump start on data-base oriented web development with a focus on applying my python skills. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
