Kenneth, does Python have non wxWidgets bindings? Until more distributions ship wxWidgets natively, that library is a PITA. If not, can someone clone the UI in Gtk2/QT? I know Perl has bindings for both these, so doing that in Perl would be trivial.
(If you are doing it in Gtk2, the XML file generated from Glade2 would be good enough, just use glade2perl2 to generate your UI code from there).
What is wrong with Java and GWT? We can have a client server environment that way. Its easy to maintain. I hate java but GWT is very promising. The end user wont need anything to be installed on his system. Just a basic browser with JS enabled :) The server side wont be that difficult to deploy either. Plus there will be sufficient mobility for the users :)
I am thinking intranet FYI. And Java programmers are easy to find. Plus you can get students to work for you as well. Java is a big craze in the student community. As I see it. It's a win-win situation for everyone. Java developers are plenty. GWT is OSS ( I think ), Web based softwares rock :). End user gets easy to use interface. Deployment is simple.
