Uh, so I have to sign up for at least the $999 per server/year to get the database modules, like psycopg2(!!).

Not sure who they are targeting. Why have some categories open/free, but not all?
Are they trying to lure people in to paying for the Business-edition? I have yet to try the tool my self, but maybe it makes life so much easy people might consider it.

They are basically offering a service similar to RHEL for Python. That is, you get a support contract with the binaries.

Perhaps the free packages are there as bait for the paid product?
