Hello

I'm looking to learn more about Python and it's capabilities.
Since I have some "loose" requirements to integrate some financia= l
accounting and data collection into an sql
database, I figured I'd research relevant, existing software
as well as writing some code in python, to see
how well I like python..... with web, graphics and database
systems.

So what I have found on Gentoo is "openERP"
Other software (written in python is a requirement)
not in portage, that I have found so far is:
GNU Enterprise and Tryton. Any Others?

So whether =A0it's a basic (python) based accounting system
or a full blown Enterprise Resource Planning tool,
I have one twist as to what the software must eventually do.
I have =A0a myriad of embedded devices that provide all
sorts of machine based data (literally pumps, valves, etc and
all sorts of sensors) that will also be sending data into the
database system. I also have a myriad of very questionable
mathematical models that generate "simulated sensor data" also to be included, monitored and analyzed.


So I want to find/develop/refine =A0software
that is able to collect data from =A0all sorts of disparate
sources. To then display it like a normal accounting =A0software
package would, but also be able to display some (selective) data
in some sort of separate, graphical display, so a particular
parameter(s) could be displayed in a (real-time) graphical gui,
much like a speedometer on the dashboard of a car, simultaneously too.

Usually Java, qt4 etc are used to generate the graphical displays
on a computer screen. Is python viable as a language/tool to also
create these graphics? If not, what would be a good language,
that works well with python, =A0to use to develop either web based
or display graphics?

This is an evolving, formative effort, so all input, particularly codes
that exist, are welcome. Comments on using python, and other ideas
are most appreciated.

Hi,

I cant tell you= much about accounting software, but what i know is that there are python b= inding for qt and gtk, just look for PyQt4 and pygtk. Another toolkit with = bindings i I know about is wxWidgets with wxPython.

I'm sure, there are bindings for your=A0preferred= =A0toolkit.
