I love it when there's a chance to talk about two mailing lists I'm on
at the same time.  I'm also on the dabo list (mostly lurking). dabo
aims to use python as an open source alternative to foxpro. You can
use a number of different backends (mysql, postgresql, sqlite, etc)
and it is developing very fast. There are already some very nice gui
development tools, some execellent screencasts to show you how to do
things and the two main developers are extra-ordinarily helpful. This
might be a bit too much for you all in one go (learning a new
database, and then learning python) but might be useful for others to
know about and useful for you in the long run.

Now, I wonder what it would take for mdbtools to integrate with dabo
so that access DBs could be used with a dabo gui?
