To some degree I have to agree -- you typically end up with a very clunky GUI with lots of high latency hits to a server for updates, or a very complex frontend implemented with a large and difficult to maintain body of Javascript. Some progress has been made to improve the situation, although the state-of-the-art is far from ideal. We can take this discussion off python-dev if anyone wants to know more about my thoughts on this matter. -Kevin -- Kevin Jacobs The OPAL Group - Enterprise Systems Architect Voice: (216) 986-0710 x 19 E-mail: jacobs@theopalgroup.com Fax: (216) 986-0714 WWW: http://www.theopalgroup.com
