I'll try not to get too OT... I had previously just used MySQL (and 
SQLite), but have been reaading some PostGres stuff lately. I took a look 
around and basically... you and I won't know or notice a difference 
probably ever. There's all sorts of crazy tweaks you can get for 
reliability, speed, and backups depending on what you use. So the only 
advice I can give on that is just learn to use both.

And even better yet, just use SQLAlchemy if you're ever touching a 
database from Python because it handles all the mucky SQL for you - you 
just define the ORM. (Hey look! A Python module!)
