Yes, it could. I have recently had a look on Lazarus, but I'm totally
exasperated about the lack of documentation -- and don't get me started
on the Zeos. How the heck do you find the right version and install it
on a Gentoo system?

Back in the old days, I actually did a lot of serious programming in
Turbo Pascal. I was delighted to find Lazarus, but after breezing
through the tutorial, I'm still at a total loss about how to actually
use it with a database. Guess I'll stick with Python and Tkinter, as
it's at least got some decent documentation.
