Actually, I do want to build and maintain the building blocks! That is my reason for moving the sites to Python, to increase my knowledge of the language. I have tried googling for examples of MySQL database interaction with Django and with Python, but I couldn't really find anything that would give me an idea of what I'm getting into. In PHP, I simply connect to the database, declare UTF-8, then make a query. Each step is done in a line of code or three. This seems to be in line with both Python and Django. However, in PHP there are many rich functions for manipulating the data returned from the query. Python does not seems to have functions meant for manipulating returned queries, and I could not find any mention of whether or not Django does. I did find MySQLdb on the Django site which seems to apply to Python as well, but I'm not really sure what it helps with. -- Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com http://gibberish.co.il --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
