There are plenty of better open source tools to store data than MySQL. You need the full power of a RDBMS including referential integrity, triggers and stored procedures? Use PostgreSQL or Firebird. You are looking for a simple yet extremely power persistent layer that supports even transactions, MVCC and networking? Check out ZODB + ZEO. You have to store and acces a LOT of data? Hadoop may the solution. Christian -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
