Apart from the predjudices that were already critizized, the Python code just plain sucks: 'regex' was deprecated ages ago in favour or 're'. _mysql shouldn't be used at all, as the leading underscore shows. It's the backend for the MySQLdb module. Using MySQLdb, especially with cursorclass=dictcursor will make the code much more readable. <Insert MySQL-sucks comment here>

  Ah. I forgot. Of course there is a 'cgi' module. Using stdin and regular expressions to parse submitted forms is just insane!
  
  It'd probably be best for all parties involved if this article were retracted.
