I am planning to develop School Database Management System that will run on Windows, Linux and Mac. The application will be Server/Client and GUI based.
Modules I intende to use are: Python socket module, wxPython for GUI, Open GL for image processing , email and so on. This is my first real python project and I really want to test myself with this application. Some planned features is:- SERVER Manage Client connections Handling Student/User registration Handling backup will also act as IM server (that will allow users to chat sometime) CLIENT Connect to sever Act as IM client Retrieve data from server. I will not be able to list all features. My Question is: What is the best database to use? (Flat file, cPickle, MySql, Sqlite,XML etc) Security to make sure data is safe How are binary data transferred from location x to y?, and during the transferring what should happen if not fully transferred and assume power goes off. Start all over again or continue? What is the secret behind transparent file transfer like the one in Yahoo IM (I can see what i`m transferring to you, u as well). Audio streaming. My intension here is to know what to do or read more and not asking you to write code for me Just your advice.
