[tech] Fwd: a python question

[siderea]

A friend (who can identify themselves if they wish) asked that I leverage my flist's collective wisdom for a python question:If I were going to port a bunch of my existing perl database code to python, which toolkit(s) should I use?

.... and here I saw the subject line and was getting all excited to give someone helpful medical advice about their pet ball python.....

Well, I'm still hoping for insight into the Cape's Big Cats problem.

Alas, I must agree with this Stack Overflow response -- it's better for many reasons to just rewrite it in Python.

I don't think he's asking about programmatic translation, though I could be wrong.

Define toolkit? I mean, only perl can parse Perl, and fully automated code porting Doesn't Work, so... the goal is what, regex translators?

I think you have misunderstood the question, which I take to be, "there are various python toolkits for interoperating with dbs, which should I use?"
