For web-based stuff I've been looking at Zope, but I'm very uncertain about its security model

>I think you are aware that I have a client using Postgres as a backend and I never have trouble with that client. But at the moment I have three clients that have switched from M$ desktop to Linux. So I think I better come up with a Linux solution soon. I started out with Kylix (I even purchased it- never buy 1.0 of anything) and put a lot of work into learning and creating programs. But the code turned out to be very unstable. Trying to deploy was a nightmare. Then I took a look at Java but discovered that it was very slow using swing (I did not invest very much time). So I then started looking at the KDevelop and Glade stuff which really turned me off because it's more work than Kylix. Today I'm looking at Python. The first time I opened a python module I could read it - which to me is a big deal. But Python lacked a GUI interface (other than TK) and I dismissed it. However, I found BOA and that looks OK. But I have plenty of questions like how do I extend BOA. Why
>hasn't anybody created a framework like codemine or MM? Python sort of reminds me of VFP (lots of different terms) but I still do not understand the data access. I want to see something like a cursor. Even C++ tools had cursors.
