Good question Raj! Hey Steve give us the run down on connecting to Oracle with Python.
I've downloaded the Activestate version to try!

I tinkered with Perl, but could never really get used to the syntax. I basically gave up (still maintain familiarity since Perl is very common) and started using Python. I've grown to enjoy coding in Python and use it now for all of the system maintenance and monitoring scripts I write as well as for my web programming work.

I'm not qualified to compare the two languages, but I will say that Perl's Oracle support is better developed and the CPAN archives are a very useful thing. In my opinion, Python is a better designed language and it is perfectly viable for production-level applications in an Oracle environment.
