Agreed all the way across.
One of the reasons I use django is because it's hard to shoot yourself in the
foot and by making sure the lower level apis is where most of the important
security features we all want live, and makes customizing our own special ones
easy. Python, well it's the love of the language, postgresql cause of the
features it has, has had them a lot longer than mysql and a nicer memory
footprint.
And the latter part of your statement is exactly why we all think that open
source software is more secure than propietary software and swear by it.
