A Python web framework that should work well across browsers
Last time we got our Flask based music database application partially functional. It could now add data to the database, edit said data and also display everything in the database.

Last time we learned how to add a search form to our music database application.

TurboGears is one of several web frameworks for Python that are available. The most popular by far is Django. Where I work, we chose TurboGears because of its integration with SQLAlchemy which supports composite keys. At that time, Django did not support that feature and I am not sure if it does yet.
