Postgres support

I'm not sure there are many Python programmers with the discretionary funds
necessary to buy any of the commercial databases you want supported.  That
puts you back into the category of "finding someone willing to do it for you
for a fee".  Presumably, if they can afford Oracle (for example), they could
also afford to pay a programmer to write a Python interface for it.

Then again, you could exercise Google a little bit.  Searching for "Python
Oracle" yielded this promising link:

Searching for "Python DB2" yielded:

"Python Sybase" netted this:

Finally, "Python Informix" returned:

Next question?
