This may come as a shock to you, but MySQL is not the only database
engine on the planet. Your recommendation may apply to MySQL, but it is
not true for all databases in general. I can name at least two examples
(Informix and Oracle) of database engines that are supported under
Python 2.5, and if I were less lazy I could probably find more.
