Pythons DBI could be easier i admit but i've never had a problem with MySQL and Python so it's all good. Another DB you might be interested in is SQLite or maybe even PostgreSQL, but MySQL is a great choice for webapps in general!

Say some guy (e.g. me) wants to try some DB programming with Python. Which one's the best and/or simplest ?

Actually, this question has very little to do with python and more to do with mysql really. Mysql is great for database lookups -- the speed is simply amazing. So, if you have a lot of prepopulated data that you want to search for results quickly, this is the engine for you. However, if you do insert or update data a lot, then there is (or at least was) a tendency for the database to get corrupted, especially if the size of the database gets large. This happens irrespective of the programming language used. They might have fixed those bugs in recent versions though. However, for industrial strength applications that have a lot of transactions and require replication and triggers and stuff, we use MS SQL Server (sorry guys, not everything I use is free software ). Yes, I know mysql now provides some of these features, but SQL Server is still a lot more flexible for our needs.
