Thank you for the links. I'm glad there are other languages that are
working with PostgreSQL. My question still remains though - why is it
that all the largest web platforms that have used PostgreSQL
*specifically* choose Python as their back-end language? Why are
Postgres and Python so married, in the same way that Node.js is largely
married to MondogDB?
I think you are going to have name frameworks, because AFAIK Drupal uses
PHP, Ruby on Rails uses Rails and so on:

As to why Postgres and Python seem to be attached I would say that is
because about the time people started looking for an alternative to
MySQL/PHP, Python reached the state and breadth of distribution to
became the language to pair with Postgres.

Hello,
I noticed that most of the largest web platforms that use
PostgreSQL as
their primary database, also use Python as their primary back-end
language. Yet, according to every benchmark I could find over
the last
couple of years, back-end languages like PHP, HHVM, and Node.JS
outperform Python by 2x to 8x!
Postgres does not really care what you use to pull data from it.
There are many libraries across many languages that you can use.
