New guy question - user form

[meg99]

I am using a scheduling sw package that uses Python as its scripting
language much like Excel uses Visual Basic. I am fluent in VB but I
am just beginning in Python.

What I need to do is this: I need to create a user form that will
contain some predefined data (captured from the scheduling sw
database) and some fields that the user will enter. When the user is
finished, he will write the data to the database via a command button
on the form.

I have looked at some of the tutorials and I have a couple of books
but I don't see a user form utility like there is in VB.

I am using version 1.5.2 (the sw I am using does not now support
anything else).

Can I do what I have described with what I have?

Regards,

AFAIK Python 1.5 featured Tkinter, which should do what you want.

But given the embedded nature of your python, I'm not sure if that
really works (the python interpreter could be crippled), or what that
software of yours offers itself.
