[Alessandro Dentella]

Hi list,

with this release I'm getting *very* near to the first stable release.
Many features where added that make using it very easy and browsing data
very friendly. I'd be happy to add for this release some localization
apart from italian. It take 15/20 minutes to transalte the catalog, if any
of you is ready to do it I'll be happy to post detailed instructions.

Thanks. Happy programming

ANNOUNCE: sqlkit 0.8.6-rc4

April, 30 - 2009

I'm happy to announce release 0.8.6-rc4 of sqlkit package for python.

http://sqlkit.argolinux.org/

This release
------------

The completion machinery underwent a big refactor to add many features.
Browsing data is more friendly due to the new contextual menu that allow to
pop Mask Widgets with a right click even in Tables.

Refer to http://sqlkit.argolinux.org/download/Changelog for details

The package
-----------
SQLkit PyGtk package provides Mask and Table widgets to edit database
data. It's meant as a base for database desktop applications.

The application
---------------
It also provides 'sqledit' a PyGTK application based on sqlkit that can be
used from command line to browse and edit data.

The package has 2 very rich demo suites for sql widgets (the main one in
sqlkit/demo/sql/demo.py) and for layout creation

Main features of sqlkit:
------------------------

* editor of databases in 2 modes: table & mask
* based on sqlalchemy: can cope with many different databases
* very powerfull filtering capabilities:
- each field can be used to filter records
- filter may span relationship
- date filtering possible also on relative basis (good for saved
queries)
* completion on all text field and foreign keys
* very easy way to draw a layout for mask views
* completely effortless editing of relationships
* very easy way to set defaults
* possibility to display totals of numeric fields
* any possible sql constraint can be attached to a Mask or a
Table. It can be expressed a s a normal sqlalchemy query or with
django-like syntax
* sqledit: python script to edit db

Sqlkit is based on:
-------------------
* python (>= 2.4)
* PyGtk
* Sqlalchemy (>= 0.5)
* glade
* dateutils
* babel (localization)

I guess here you're asking for a tutorial from scratch... I can plan
something in the near future... in the meanwhile you can see the needed
import from here (in the demo, example N. 1):

Here I don't really understand what you mean...

mmmh... you don't need qt... you need gtk. Maybe you need a tutorial on the
setup not really on _using_ sqlkit...

In fact installing pygtk on windows is much longer that on linux. If that's
what you're looking for I can write down how we did that for one of my
customers.
