on windows, for rdb i'd use mysql or firebird. postgres is not well suited to 
windows, imo. as for access... well lets not go there :-)

i'd use zope... but that just reflects my biases ;-).

other options in terms of python web frameworks are numerous. webware, 
albatross, skunkweb, etc.

other things you might want to consider, writer/reader ratios, number of 
concurrent users.
