It depends on which windowing toolkit you're planning to use. If you use
PyGTK, you'd want a TreeView widget to display the list. Fill a
ListStore instance with your data and give that to the TreeView. You can
implement filtering and sorting on top of that using TreeModelFilter and
TreeModelSort.
I have look at most. I have no preference.
Are you able to point me to some resource material explaining how this
can be done - e.g. a tutorial or manual?
LibreOffice and OpenOffice have database management components (I
haven't used them, I assume they're somewhat similar to MS Access) - and
they can be scripted using Python. Depending on what you're doing, and
what you're planning to do in the future (re learning investment), that
might be worth looking into.
'Base' is of no value in this regard. It is not really designed for this
and there is a raging debate at the moment whether it will be maintained
in the future. It also fails in that it requires predefined connections
and forms to be established. It would not be possible to dynamically
link to a table in a database (I have established ODBC links to a SQLite
database, but the driver is an un-maintained draft). I also believe that
the 'base' component in libreoffice/openoffice is a java implementation
not python.
