[wxpython-users] a bit OT, db for deploying w/ wx on OS X?

[Peter Damoc]

Hi Iain,
My suggestion is to use SQLite and provide the outside access to the
database via some kind of background service. (not RAW access but API
access)
Use something like a SimpleXMLRPCServer for this.

As for making it "idiot proof" this is a requirement that I think cannot be
met.
These "idiots" are very very creative and they will for sure find ways to
screw your system.
