[link|/forums/render/user?username=admin|Scott] you ever take a look at the product Nic Peterley reviews [link|http://www.linuxworld.com/site-stories/2002/1104.petreley.html|here]?

I took a look into it a bit... it has some features, it's sort of like PHP... *SHRUG*

FYI: [link|http://webware.sourceforge.net/|Webware for Python]

• A fast, multi-threaded, easy-to-use application server
• Servlets
• Python Server Pages (PSP, similar to ASP, PHP and JSP)
• An object-relational mapper
• Task scheduling
• User management and authentication
• A CGI wrapper

Also: [link|http://spyce.sourceforge.net/|Spyce PSP] it's [link|http://spyce.sourceforge.net/doc-intro_design.html|Design Goals]

So take a look.. kinda neat...

[link|http://www.unixodbc.org/|unixODBC] appears to have a predictable API to access Data Sources

[link|http://www.unixodbc.org/drivers.html|unixODBC Drivers section] shows they even hacked thier own version to work. Even submitted the changes back to postgresql.

Funny thing about unixODBC... at GRCC I used it for a number of smaller project by a Department there. I set it up about 2 years ago. Even then I was amazed at how it worked. It could even connect to an Access DB! I found a piece somewhere that allowed me to do that... might have been a .so from Chilisoft though... but hey it DID work... and it seems to not break itself regularly either, as I never had to burp-it or any of the services that used it.
