CGI templating with python
KB
Years ago I wrote a LAMP app using python. I find I need a simple web
data entry tool to store records (stock research) and when I enter a
stock ticker, to pull up all the past research I have done. I am
imagining fields like ticker, date, pulldown menus for various
options, long text for comments etc..
It's a very light weight application, so I was wondering if using
something like Cheetah is the best way to do this?
Or should I research Zope further or are there any other suggestions?
Environment:
- Python 2.5 (w/ MySQLdb)
- MySQL 5.1
- Windows Vista
Many thanks in advance!

Django will probably get you where you want to go the fastest:
In particular, its admin interface will probably automatically generate a usable
UI for you without your having to write many templates at all.

Robert,
Thank you very very much. I had a brief peruse of django last night
and it does indeed look like what I am after! Will take me some
time :) to delve into it deeper but I wanted to thank you!

You could also look at WHIFF and try out the test drive.
