Has anyone tried out python in postgres? (http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/static/plpython.html). In the past, I've tried to avoid stored procs for the reasons mentioned above, but have not yet had the chance to try out python and would be interested in hearing about people's experiences with it.
Pretty good, you can even access local python libraries for direct use in your db functions. Only negative is that you have to re-compile your functions to update the library references.
