New beauty in Camelot
summary
Camelot is a Python desktop framework built on Qt + SQLAlchemy that ships a tabbed UI, query-to-object mapping (SELECT maps to a virtual entity), dynamic field attributes (suffix, precision, background) and actions with option dialogs. It records plot commands into a container for fast matplotlib rendering in the GUI thread and supports document merge (docx + Jinja) templates. The runtime uses a multi-threaded model/gui split to avoid freezes, commercial deployments use a custom Python distribution plus automatic updates; dozens of clients and 20+ product features validate it.
