And I wish a full stack object publisher like TG had existed before I 
started working on QLime. Trying to market QLime at this point is 
probably not a good idea.

Going a little off topic...

PTL is the best new idea from Quixote IMO. I was thinking if it made 
sense to extend the idea to SQL. For example:

class Accounts:
     database = 'customer'

     def getAccountName [sql] (account_id):
         "SELECT name FROM accounts WHERE account_id=%s" % account_id

Calling the method would not only create the SQL string but also 
execute it and return the query results.

This would enable very clean Python-oriented database access layers.
