Quandl is great but be sure to truly understand their ToS correctly - they pull a lot of their data from sources that forfeit (or dont explicitly allow) public/for profit redistribution

Having developed several advanced apps in enaml over last 2 years, i commend enaml. It encourages MVC and provides clean observer-style bindings (Atom). The framework is used internally by at least one fortune 50 corp for a large app suite.
