I just wanted to point out that I was responding to somebody who 
complained that the database interface situation on python was somewhat 
fragmented.

Also, when I was looking at web frameworks, I was doing so *precisely* 
to serve one or more databases of information (read only to the users, 
but occasionally loaded with more info as it became available). So it 
happened to be the first question I asked (at the same time as "and how 
do I talk to it?").

Anyway, you did warn that your message was possibly off-topic, so I 
guess I'm agreeing with you and perhaps being overly defensive. It was 
an interesting message.
