Yes, the need to roll queries by inserting parameters directly into the
query string is definitely a PHP misfeature (for versions less than 5),
since the database access modules don't accommodate parametrized
queries. PHP5 finally introduced a standardized database API that allows
parametrized queries. Of course, Python has had this since 1996.
