It's a form of premature >optimization. I just wanted to point out that I was responding to somebody who complained that the database interface situation on python was somewhat fragmented. Also, when I was looking at web frameworks, I was doing so *precisely* to serve one or more databases of information (read only to the users, but occasionally loaded with more info as it became available). So it happened to be the first question I asked (at the same time as "and how do I talk to it?"). Anyway, you did warn that your message was possibly off-topic, so I guess I'm agreeing with you and perhaps being overly defensive. It was an interesting message. -- Russell -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
