For the Web part of the stack, here is another good starting point: http://wiki.python.org/moin/WebFrameworks I'm currently learning Pylons.

Here are some database references: http://wiki.python.org/moin/DatabaseInterfaces http://www.python.org/doc/topics/database/ http://www.python.org/doc/topics/database/modules/ http://www.sqlalchemy.org/ http://www.sqlobject.org/ Dave -- Dave Kuhlman http://www.rexx.com/~dkuhlman _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
