I avoid using MySQL - SQLite does a better job as a lighweight SQL-compliant no-server solution, and PostgreSQL is years ahead of MySQL when it comes to serious, rock-solid transactional RDBMS. But I had no problem with the MySQLdb package so far. I also tend to favor Apache-independant deployment solutions, so while I had some fun with mod_python, I failed to clearly understand how broken it is. And I did not have to worry about the ssl support in Python so far. FWIW, I had do some LDAP stuff with both PHP and Python, and I would certainly not advocate PHP's LDAP support. > There's a tendency to treat those as abandonware > and re-implement them as event-driven systems in Twisted.
