I have been off and on trying to learn Python for a few months now and yesterday I successfully finished my first real application. Unfortunately it was for work and I cannot post the source code for you all to tear a part. But it was an application displayed a menu that allowed the user to choose and made several Oracle database calls using the module cx_Oracle to test some functionality of my companies application.
There was that vague enough?
To make it useful I had to use the py2exe application to make it into a Windows executable. I had to step down my version of Python from 2.6 to 2.4 to get the py2exe compiled python application to work due to the version of C++ that Python 2.4 and 2.6 are compiled with.
I hope to start making some useful applications in the near future where I can post the source code and you all comment on and tear apart.
