[Zope-dev] wxPython + ZODB = bliss

Here is a script that lets you browse *everything* in your ZODB through a
quick GUI client.  I was looking at wxPython the other day and this idea
occurred to me.  It worked amazingly well.

(BTW you can't hold me responsible if your password slips out because of
this. ;-) It runs outside the security model. )

I don't know how many of you have tried out wxPython but I think it's a
marvellous GUI library.  It's fast, stable, and in active development.
It works as well under Python 2.1 as it does under 1.5.2.  Just thought
I'd give that little plug. :-)

And when you mix wxPython with ZODB... it's pure bliss.  I've been writing
a little program on the side that uses wxPython and ZODB as a foundation,
and I'm amazed at how well the project is coming together.  I've heard
rumors about a fat client for Zope that used a ZEO connection for
editing (ZopeFish?)... I think this script demonstrates how well that idea
would work!
