We gave a full tutorial session at this year's PyCon (you can see it here at http://blip.tv/file/3359460/ -  takes a while to load the 3-hour video); you can also read the tutorial document at http://dabodev.com/pycon_tutorial.

Thanks Ed. I could lie and say that I was so out-of-touch that I hadn't 
come across Dabo, but I have to admit that I had forgotten about 
investigating it several years ago.

I think the main reason I didn't use it was because it didn't support my 
niche database back end (Pervasive.SQL) via a native driver or ODBC, but 
I see on the wiki that there might be ODBC support. If I ever head back 
into Python I'll have to give it a go.
