Is Python Dead?

[Gilles Lenfant]

Of course, there's no "good" database support in the standard package list.
But there is a full featured DBI 2.0 API spec and lot of addon DB packages
compliant with this spec.
This API is very simple and the Python power makes it easy to put an object
layer above the database (persistant objects). Can you do it in Perl.
For Web development, AFAIK Zope is the best open source solution for content
management with a built-in object database. Zope is not done in Perl or PHP
but in Python (95%).
If you find a better solution than the pythonic one, please let us know.
