See SqlAlchemy (or any DB_API module like adodb.py or pymssql),
SqlObject, Dabo for DB stuff. See PubSub for one type of messaging:

Python supports lots of web services. Here are a couple of links:

http://pywebsvcs.sourceforge.net/

It also has lots of web frameworks, such as Django, TurboGears,
Pylons, Web2Py, Plone/Zope

I assume this is supposed to be "security". TurboGears can probably do
this:

If you do some Googling, it looks like Django does too...

Alternatively, you could also use Jython, which can just use the Java
implementations...
