Chris, thanks for all this detailed information.  I am confused though 
with your database recommendation.  You say you teach SQLAlchemy but 
generally use PostgreSQL yourself.  I can maybe guess why there seems to 
be this contradiction.  Perhaps PostgreSQL is better but too advanced for  
the class you are teaching?  Can you clarify on which you think is the 
better choice?  Thanks.
