Re: Python versus Other Languages using PostgreSQL

Thank you for the links. I'm glad there are other languages that are
working with PostgreSQL. My question still remains though - why is it that
all the largest web platforms that have used PostgreSQL *specifically*
choose Python as their back-end language? Why are Postgres and Python so
married, in the same way that Node.js is largely married to MondogDB?
