Having done both Perl and Python I'll concede that DBI DBD::Oracle is
superior. But the Python equivalent has been good enough for my
purposes. Attesting to Python's glue-between-systems-and-software
capabilities (like Perl), someone has developed a Python interface to
DBI. It doesn't seem to be used much in the Python community and it
seemed too weird so I never looked into it.=3D20

Btw, I've used and even developed my own HTTP web servers in Python. (I
demo'd it in my IOUG presentation.) Where can I find such a thing in
Perl?

I've been tempted to try Python, but have had no compelling reason.
If there was anything to compete with Tim Bunce's DBI and DBD::Oracle
modules, I would give it a try. But there isn't. DBI is the best open
source database interface available.
