I started to wonder about the opposite direction: pickles. I wonder how 
many Python programmers are familiar with them from before? For me that 
ease of serialization was kind of a revelation early on - 'whoa i can 
save my apps complex state this easily, in a small file that loads quickly!'

ODBs are not exactly pickling, but there is perhaps something similar, 
so possibly it is another technology (besides SQL) to refer to when 
introducing Durus. Just a thought that came to mind, did not think too 
much of it yet, dunno if it makes sense.

btw the Durus-using Schevo project has some advocacy articles about ODBs 
that might have interesting points to bring up.
