Knobjex under python

Earlier I developed a MS-Access database named Knobjex. This was a database on itself (tables and queries) plus a program (forms and programming-code). However the limitations of programming in MS-Access were too big and also I wanted to move to an open-source solution. After some thought I chose Python as programming-language.

The intention was firstly to build a graphical user-interface in Python around the the Access-database, so that the Access-code would be replaced. The second phase would be to replace the Access-db with a Firebird-database. This second phase is still to be done. After that, a fully open-source solution will be available, and it will also be portable to other non-windows OS's (which can be considered a third phase).

Screenshots of the python gui can be found here

Technically pyKnobjex uses python 2.6 (for now), wxpython as GUI, odbc (module pyodbc).
Further technical details will be found here

I brought the code to an open source-hoster and I have chosen for Google Code.
You will find the python-code here

pyKnobjex still uses an Access-database (until a Firebird-database is used).
