The problem with Andromeda are three fold, the last being trivial and
brekaing the camels back for me:
1. I don't know Andromeda, while I kind of know Python/Tk
2. Andromeda is not an item in the standard Linux style toolkit,
while Python/Tkinter is part of the system level installations on most
Linuxes, and is easily installed on Windows and Macs.
3. I can't get Andromeda to compile on my installation of Gentoo.
I am still figuring out the vagaries of Tkinter, but I think my
approach will involve mapping a little language of table names,
modifiers, and connecting operators to a sequence of forms. I think
I can do a little magic in propagating fields chosen in early forms
down to defaults in later forms in a sequence to get the effect of
entering, say, a student and her three classes.
I will announce to the list if I get a working prototype.
