Via Leonardo’s Delphi and FreePascal blog
This is one of those things I needed for ages, but didn’t bothered to implement
because I thought it could require an unnecessary amount of work, and allways
opted for a less perfectionist method.I’m talking about a method to retrieve data in Pages, then browse it in a ListView
transparently for the user.

For more than a year I’m employed by a company called Smantics Kommunikationsmanagement GmbH as a Python developer. The company offers multiple services related to communcation and its management in our modern world. Most of the time I’m working on the server part of a software stack called Visual Library.
The heart of the Visual Library software stack is a Python driven web application server. It’s built on top of CherryPy framework and driven by a Firebird database. The server utilizes a cornucopia of open source third party packages as well as commercial and proprietary software. The most noticable Python packages are lxml for XML and XSL(T), reportlab for PDF creation, Cython for optimization / library bindings and PyLucene for full text search.
