Webware+Python+PostgreSQL+Apache on FreeBSD is very stable and fast.

I've had MySQL crap out on me enough not to trust it with anything
but a report database that can be re-constructed from a real data
store like PostgreSQL.  Also PostgreSQL now has python stored
procedures for real back-end intensive operations.

PostgreSQL requires a GPL'd library on Windoz, so this will work
for prototypes but not for production unless you are GPL.  The 
above combination on Win2K with cygwin (using the non-cygwin Python)
works acceptably on a laptop computer... but it runs about 10x slower
on the same hardware as compared to FreeBSD.

I wouldn't give it a moments thought... plough ahead as it is
smooth sailing.

Best,

Clark
