Pytigon is a complete environment for creating and running programs. System can be divided into tree parts: server, database and client.

• Server

  Server part is based on Django (https://www.djangoproject.com/). Server can be:

  1. an independent component

  2. an element built into the client.

• Database

  Pytigon uses the database, that is supported by Django. Database can be embedded in the client software or it can be an independent component.

  1. Embeded database

     Pytigon can use sqlite. It is the simplest solution.

  2. Independent component

     You can choose your favorite database server if it is in the following list:

     • PostgreSQL
     • MySQL
     • Oracle

     You can also check the following databases (they are not officially supported by Django): Microsoft SQL Server, IBM DB2, Firebird, SAP SQL Anywhere.

• Client

  There are three types of client software.

  1. Wxpython client -

  2. Web browser

  3. Hybrid client - browser window embeded into application

There are many different possible combinations of these elements, recommended are:

• All in one:

  Pytigon client with embeded django server. In this configuration best option will be database: sqlite. wxPython client works on systems: Windows, Linux (probably OSX, not tested). There is special software for Android.

• Classic client-server

  You can download Docker image for pytigon server. This image contains: Django, Daphne server and Nginx reverse proxy server. This configuration works great with database servers: PostreSQL or MySQL. Any modern browser can be a customer.
