This is becoming an FAQ. The currently available (non-web) database application development frameworks for Python are: using wxPython: Dabo http://www.dabodev.com Defis http://sourceforge.net/projects/defis/ (Russian only) GNUe http://www.gnuenterprise.org/ using PyQt: Pypapi https://pypi.python.org/pypi/PyPaPi Camelot http://www.python-camelot.com/ Qtalchemy http://www.qtalchemy.org/ Thyme http://clocksoft.co.uk/downloads/ Kexi http://www.kexi-project.org/ using PyGTK: SQLkit http://sqlkit.argolinux.org/ Kiwi http://www.async.com.br/projects/kiwi/ Glom http://www.glom.org Openoffice Base http://www.openoffice.org/product/base.html Libreoffice Base http://www.libreoffice.org/features/base/ OpenERP http://www.openerp.org Tryton http://www.tryton.org Dabo (they're about to release 1.0 for Pycon), Pypapi, Camelot, SQLkit seem to be the most actively developed and best documented ones. OpenERP and Tryton are ERP systems that can also be used as frameworks for non-ERP custom applications.
