会python有必要学perl吗,对想要学习python的perl专家的建议

Now, why would I like to learn Python: because of IronPython port to CLR.

Perl port to CLR doesn''t seem to be coming soon. First Perl6 for Parrot has

to be written, and then other backends..

What''s the easiest way of learning python knowing perl? Is there somewhere

a ''how-to'' cookbook with parallel examples of frequent idioms in perl and

python?

And most important thing, how does Python deal with database connectivity?

Is there a single API (akin to DBI) for connecting to databases?

How does Python support the following databases:

- Oracle

- Postgres

- MySQL

- SQLServer (maybe using freetds?)

- ODBC connectivity (connecting to MS Access)

Yes, python has defined single API

I have tried MySQLdb package and mdb connectivity through

win32com.client package.

I read about Postgres and Oracle connectivity...

A good start might be:

http://www.python.org/doc/Intros.html

under the "Introductions for programmers" heading.

Then there''s http://www.python.org/doc/Comparisons.html#perl which has

direct comparisons.

There is a DB-API standard, which is implemented by the various connectors.

Well.

Jak Kirman wrote one around 1996. I''ve just put a copy in the Python wiki at

http://www.python.org/moin/PerlPhrasebook .
