Obivously, if your requirements are to be compliant with latest IT
management fads and to not give a darn for end-user productivity or
even legal requirements for screen workplace ergonomics...

>From the description this looks like a simble database CRUD
application. Somethign like that is definitely easier to implement and
to deploy and a *lot* more functional with any of the RAD frameworks
available for Python.

And just like HTML never was a valid GUI framework and never will be
one, HTTP will never be a suitable transport layer for a RPC protocol.

Sincerely,

Wolfgang
