I dare say that's a misconception.
However, Python "works so well", that "professional amateurs"
(like myself) who gravitate towards PostgreSQL for the
obvious reasons might tend to chose Pytho
As a long time user of the combination, Postgresql, Python, Django,
Flask etc. here are my 2 cents:
The frameworks of python; Django (enormous) or Flask (smaller) and there
are more, are of superb quality, battle hardened and are used in many

I'm also interested to know which frameworks you're referring to?
Regarding Node and Mongo I imagine that they are well suited because
Mongo stores JSON documents and Node, being Javascript, has first
class support for JSON. Python and PostgreSQL's relationship might be
more of a principled one? P
