[Baypiggies] request for opinions re python-web server-database

[Kenneth Dombrowski]

I second Dylan's recommendation of sqlite.  The database is just a file,
installation is just a c lib + a python lib, available from any distro
(aptitude install python-sqlite in any debian-based linux).  I would
recommend Flask for the app framework.  gunicorn is a good server.
