I'm confused as what you mean by using FoxPro? If you mean the use of DBF's then there are at least two python lib's that can handle dbf's (that includes DBC's). If you are talking about classes - fox code is really not very far off python code. I have converted many foxpro routines (functions and classes) into python without a single issue. If you have special *.FLL's then I suggest you take a look at several of the C++/C lib's that allow use of the windows DLL's and FLL's in python code. Maybe you are looking for the way Fox cursors work? That is supported by Dabo and SQAlchemy can handle the idea of a cursor and cursor adapter is really not needed.

My guess that using Dabo would work for you - that assumes you want a similar environment that Fox provides. However, Dabo does not support QT and I doubt it will in the future (it would take a lot of work to get that up). And currently Dabo is not using python 3.x because the graphic lib Dabo uses 'wxPython' does not support it (it may in the near future).

BTW I believe QT (pyQT) is a much better solution and a better programming environment over wxPython. That said, it's not setup to take advantage of SQLAlchemy or any other ORM natively - but there is a module https://pypi.python.org/pypi/qtalchemy/0.8.3.
