[SQLObject] New user: tutorial available?

[Rich S. <rsh...@ap...>]

I'm not a full-time developer but have a couple of desktop applications to
build. The backend is postgresql-12.7 (tables built and holding data), the
UI is TKinter (python-3.7.2) and the connector is psycopg2-2.8.6. All this
runs on Slackware64-14.2.

The SQLObject web site's documentation page has a list of links. Are the
docs available as a downloadable PDF file? Is there a tutorial so I can
learn how to start and become familiar and comfortable with the tool?

TIA,

Rich

   Welcome and thank you for your interest in SQLObject!

   Sorry, that's irrelevant.

   For some time I had been generating the docs at RTFD but last push
was in 2017:

https://sqlobject.readthedocs.io/en/stable/News.html#sqlobject-3-3-0

   The PDF is at https://sqlobject.readthedocs.io/_/downloads/en/stable/pdf/

   I stopped using RTFD because nobody's expressed interest in using the
docs. People seem to be satisfied with http://sqlobject.org/

   There is no a separate tutorial document. THe best you can find is an
introduction:

http://sqlobject.org/SQLObject.html#using-sqlobject-an-introduction

   You are welcome to send pull requests to fix or extend the docs!

           Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.

Oleg,

Okay.

I saw that. I'll start playing with it and see what happens.

Thanks for the quick response,
