Re: Creating a multi-tier client/server application
We totally agree with your software engineering goals. Relying on wxPython and minimizing web reliance brings sanity to the enterprise. We too love PostgreSQL and avoid XML whether cleaned by SOAP at all costs. We have found the object-relationship managers to be bloated and unruly. What are you building and how many hours per month are you willing to spend supporting it? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: why should I learn python
Why use Python? 1)Easy to read, debug and think. 2)Same language for batch scripting, server programming and dynamic web page creation. 3)Libraries like wxPython for desktop and Cherrypy for web development. 4)Pythonic JavaScript Library Mochikit. 5)Engineered for reality, not corporate proprietary control (Microsoft). 6)Less code than Java the Huge. 7)Friendly with C for optimization, if necessary. 8)Works well with SQL, especially PostgreSQL. 9)Everybody is using it, even Microsoft with IronPython. 10)One of the dominant languages driving robotics. 11)Works nicely with UNICODE. 12)Liberal license. 13)And lastly, if you hate programming as I do, you will love Python. Belief is when someone else does the thinking. ~ Buckminster Fuller -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
