Python 2.7 or 3.1

[Jorge Biquez]

Hello Christian and all .

Thanks for the comments. I am newbie to Python trying to learn all 
the comments, that , by the way, I am very impressed of the knowledge 
of the people present in this list.

I was wondering if you can comment more about what alternatives to 
use instead to MySql. My web solutions do not need "all the power" of 
a true database, I even was wondering if I couldbe able to put simple 
dBase files (yes, dBase files) with my web solutions.

- Any comments you can do on what to use 2.7 or 3.1? ( I guess 2.7 
for what I have read)
- Maybe should be another subject but... Any comments on using dBase 
format file with Python?

Thanks in advance.
