I programmed in Python 2 and 3 for many years, and I find it a fantastic language.
Now I'm programming in Java by m ore than 2 years, and even if I found its code much more boilerplate, I admit that JDBC is fantastic. One example over all: Oracle. If you want to access an Oracle DB from Python, you have to: 1. download the Oracle instantclient and install/unzip it 2. on Linux, you have also to install/unzip Development and Runtime package 3. on windows, you have to add the instantclient to PATH 4. on Linux, you have to create a script to source that sets PATH, ORACLE_HOME and LD_LIBRARY_PATH Finally, you can use cx_Oracle. Java? You have only to download ojdbcN.jar and add it to Maven/Gradle. Why Python has no equivalent to JDBC? -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
