I use SVN to maintain Dabo. Since you are using Linux I recommend

installing SVNserve and use the link on the website to install Dabo. I

also use '.pth' file as a way to tell python where to find Dabo. The

only question I have is where does the "dabo.pth" need to be. Normally,

it is in the 'site-packages' but I believe that is NOT correct for

Ubuntu. I believe it goes in the 'distutils' folder. Paul and Ed

(along with others) use Ubuntu maybe they'll speak up.

Near the bottom:

Next you'll have to teach yourself how to create a connection using Dabo.

Note that you'll want to use the one for sqlite of course.

Since, you were on the wxPython list I will assume that you can get the

file name of the database via python.

fake code:

get the database name

get a connection - use dbSqlite -> getConnection

get a cursor

getTables()

# you should have enough info to choose a table

execute an sql against the table

pass a dataset to the browse method.
