When doing lab 7 and going through the section where it asked us to change all the get_db() so they conformed to psql syntax, that was a fairly tedious task. Had I known that we would have to do this, I would have personally written an abstraction for accessing these database commands so in this case I would not have to alter my code. This may be my fault, but I'm certain I'm not the only one. Maybe on future project spec, you could just add a hint that points at creating an abstraction so when you have to update db commands in python, it only has to be done once in a single location, and not everywhere in code. Just my thought, I could be wrong as well.
