Do you create forms for data-entry using python? I am looking for a
database solution that integrates closely with OOo, but I find the
form-creation tools in OOo to be a little bit clumsy. An ideal
solution for me would be a great data-entry frontend, and python glue
that takes the data and uses it to create or modify openoffice
documents using the PyUNO bridge (have to use non-debian OOo packages to
do that right now, but that should change sometime soon).
Anyway, if you create data-entry gui's using python, would you be
willing to share some of your code? I'd love to see it.
thanks,
Matt
