Re: what python technology for my app?

Chris a écrit :
I have an database containing lots of numerical data. I want to write a browser based interface that will allow selection of various key parameters and yield tables, plots and/or printouts of the data according to the selections. Ultimately I want this to run on an intranet so that others can get access via their browsers.

The application is for in-house use only and not likely to have more than a few users at any one time. I've managed to hack out enough understanding of sql and sqlAlchemy over the last couple of days to create and access an sqlite3 based database for my data. This seems to suit my purposes for now. Now for a front end and some simple distribution over a network.

I have written some small Wxpython & matplotlib apps for data analysis and display but I'm not sure how these would work in a browser based world, or even if they are appropriate.

wxPython being a GUI toolkit, it's of course not really appropriate for a web-based solution (and yes, this is an understatement).

I don't have any experience with matplotlib, but according to the project's FAQ, this shouldn't be a problem:
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/faq.html#BATCHMODE


Any advice on what technologies I should be looking at for this? Python based naturally, and hopefully simple and lightweight. I'm not a programmer by trade and that's not what I really get paid for but I've learned to love python and its myriad of modules for all the data analysis work I need to do. If I can throw something moderately functional together in a week or two (along with all the learning that entails)

If you don't have any experience with web programming, it might take a bit more time.

I'll be happy.

Pylons (http://pylonshq.com) and turbogears are two great web frameworks. Both support SQLAlchemy. My own favourite is Pylons, but you should try both and choose the one that better fits your brain.

btw - Platform needs to be windows because that's what on my desk.

Python is mostly platform independant.
