The reason I am pro python is simply that it can scale fairly well, I do
not mean network/user like. And of cause it is a language I know.
However I know about 10, learning number 11 should not present to much
of a problem. Send me a Perl POS link and I will see what it looks like
and if I can understand it. I still in the process of downloading Java
POS ( previous link) to evaluate as well.

It seems to me, that simply packaging all SQL relate posts to the
database in some form, would allow for these changes, I will investigate
this. Probably not SQL as it rely on Table ID's which 
is inappropriate.

P.S. Leap of faiths for most of my clients is not a problem, installing
