[Chicago] Question

[kirby urner]

Hey David --

Just to butt in from Portland, where I'm a PPUG lieutenant under
Michelle Rowley (our fearless leader), I'd say do it both ways if the
goal is maximum learning.

Thick client local GUI:  consider Tk the presumably came with Python,
quite capable.  John Zelle's book is good at using it.  wxPython would
be a next step up to a truly full featured widget set, as wxPython is
a wrapper around the venerable wxWidgets.  I support using open source
for maximum learning potential.

Web client:  writing a server application is in many ways easier as so
much has been done for you in terms of human-hours.  You have
frameworks galore.  What's more complicated is you're dealing with the
network itself and the http request / response protocol, plus if
you're willing they might rope you in to help fine tune Apache and
before you know it, Python is but a receding memory in the rear view
mirror (good sysops in short supply in many neighborhoods).

Did you use Python's CSV module to read the file?  Is this Python 3.x?
 I'm sure you'll be wanting to take it off list with the glorious
details, but if you do a web version you should give us a holler so's
we can all log in and buy us a Mustang, at Costco prices.
