 - **Always backward compatible.** We have not broken backward compatibility since version 1.0 in 2007, and we pledge not to break it in the future.
 - **Easy to run.** It requires no installation and no configuration.
-- **Runs on** Windows, Mac, Unix/Linux, Google App Engine, Amazon EC2, and almost any web hosting via Python 2.5/2.6/2.7/pypy, or Java with Jython.
-- **Runs with** Apache, Lighttpd, Cherokee and almost any other web server via CGI, FastCGI, WSGI, mod_proxy, and/or mod_python. It can embed third party WSGI apps and middleware.
-- **Talks to** SQLite, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MSSQL, FireBird, Oracle, IBM DB2, Informix, Ingres, and Google App Engine.
