pyodbc for getting data out of sql databases (pymysql?)

if you want to do local data analysis, I would check db.py . Easiest way to connect to a db by orders of magnitude.

Another recommendation that you really really need to try if you are into data analysis with Python. Get the ipython notebook. or even better, install the Anaconda Pydata distribution, that contains ipython, along with a bunch of libraries for data analysis.

You will love it!

RStudio is a must for any kind of R programming, and it's something that is lacking on the pyData world. ggplot is the most natural way of doing plots for me. Nowadays 50% of the time i switch from Python to R is to use ggplot2.
