I'm trying out Ruby on Rails clones in Python (TurboGears) and PHP =

(CakePHP) for rapid web application development.  Is there any similar =

framework out there for rapid desktop application development in =

wxPython?  I think Dabo might be close.  Several features in =

Rails/TurboGears/Cake that I really like:

    * A standardized (but extendable/flexible) directory structure for
      your application
    * Object Relational Mapping (ORM) layer - an object-oriented API
      which is portable between multiple relational databases (for
      Python:  SQLObject or SQLAlchemy)
    * Database migrations - define & store simple scripts to convert
      between versions of your database
    * Scaffolding - define your model and the framework creates default
      views (CRUD:  create, read, update, delete) for you
    * Conventional message/event routing - your controllers are called
      without any or much code necessary to route events to them

Is anyone here aware of a good way to integrate features like these into =

the wxPython app development process?
