We moved from MySQL to PostgreSQL a little while ago, and haven't looked back. I used to automatically think of MySQL when discussing open source databasing (I've also used DB2, but not in any OSS context), but just as there's no reason to instinctively reach for PHP when you want a dynamic web site, there's no need to naturally grab MySQL. Actually I haven't used Postgres with Python yet. Should probably do that at some point. But the MySQL bindings for Python aren't so awesome they can't be matched by any other.
