Certainly, some Web frameworks have some element of Java flavouring, but there's also considerable diversity at least at certain levels. > In the original poster's case, it's seemingly because specific database > support seems to > be lacking.

Last time I checked, which was admittedly a long time after I actually needed the modules concerned, support for Oracle with Python was actually pretty good. I suppose it's a case of the Django people getting round to gluing the Oracle modules to their object-relational mapper and making sure that it all still works, and perhaps some motivated member of the Django community can step forward and do the work to get it going. Otherwise, no amount of complaining will put the two technologies together. Paul -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
