Many people have recommended python before for many tasks, I know nothing about it, I was thinking of good old C, but I should maintain broad-mindedness, and will look into python, any specific reason fot that, for example, easier to build/maintain apps easier GUI building, more robustness, etc ?? >There's a nice wrapper > for Tk called Tkinter that you > can you to put a front end on it and a whole > bunch of database interfaces TK is very nice looking interface, I have been using TKRat for mail for sometime, and it rocks. Database, that's the difficult part under FreeBSD see, I used to do some very nice things with Visual Basic & MS-Access, they were really good stuff, fast, clean, very flexible, expandible. have not found suitable alternative combination yet under unix, but I am sure there is out there. > (I think you said that you wanted to archive > your info...) > > see: > > http://www.python.org > > and a quick search on deja showed a few people > who've done your type of thing. > (The one shows someone getting data from a > multimeter) > > http://x32.deja.com/[ST_rn=ps]/getdoc.xp?AN=515106896&CONTEXT=942183969.1138884624&hitnum=6 > > http://x44.deja.com/[ST_rn=ps]/getdoc.xp?AN=522492908&CONTEXT=942184189.95027202&hitnum=17 > > good luck, > > =derek > > Monster By Mistake Inc > 'digital plumber' > mailto:drek@monsterbymistake.com > http://www.interlog.com/~drek > > Thanks for the link and the real sincerity. ===== MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
