    from clipper move to python

    Hi Everyone,

    I'm starting learning python about 2 weeks, and still have
    difficulties to create GUI based application because I never learn
    about classes and other OOP things. Does anyone knows how to
    create text console application like clipper using python.

    Thanks,

      I don't know what clipper looks like, but you may want to have a look at
      curses, which I believe is also available with a Python interface (no
      doubt called pycurses or something in that direction).

          For those who ask - clipper is a programming language that is a
          compiled version of dBase relational database scripting language.

              I'm not old enough to have stories about how I hacked on a shiny new
              PDP-10 or any such thing. But seeing Clipper on c.l.py brings back
              memories; my first real programming job was writing a database app in
              Clipper. How blazingly fast it was, compared with the earlier dBase III
              version of the app! Clipper was the One True Way to write data-driven
              apps. Or so I thought: I was a green kid back then, and hadn't even
              heard of SQL...

              Those console-based data-entry applications were infinitely more
              efficient for a good typist than anything that involves (or even allows)
              a mouse.

              rhapsodically yours,

              -- Graham
