The commercial version of python is a lot faster than the free version
which is no slouch either. Printing is still a bit of a pain though.

What is "the comercial version of Python"?

Commercial releases of Python, of which I know of at least 12, are tailored
to connect Python to most major databases, including the following:

- MS Access
- MS SQL Server and
- Oracle
- MYSQL
- IBM DG2
- Informix
- etc.

on all major platforms, using a Python DB-API 2.0 standard compatible
interface.

The best of them IMHO is mxODBC (Open Database Connectivity) but don't be
misled by the title; the source code is NOT available

In addition, most of the commercial releases, whilst having drivers for M$
products, usually lag behind with other OS's like Linux, BSD, MacOS, Palm,
Nokia etc.

So unless you're writing code for a living, especially databases, you're
probably just as well served with the Linux version of Python, of which
version 3.01 (3.1 alpha 1) has just been released.

Happy coding.
