Yes, it's true that Dabo has wrapped (subclassed) most of the controls. The 
purpose of course was to provide developer ease of use.  If you are building 
a real business app then I doubt there is anything better in the python 
world.  I personally have used both VB and Delphi and see Dabo on the same 
level.  With one exception - we have a beta GUI builder.  Everything that has 
been done in Dabo is the very same things that all developers would be 
required to do if they access a database and associate fields to controls.  
BTW there is nothing stopping a Dabo developer from directly using wx 
controls.  Dabo prevents nothing.

So Alan, I don't see my work as falling into any hole.
