Sure, that might work.

No :-)

I'd think it a waste of resources to run yet another
database server on a machine. PostgreSQL is already running,
so one might rather choose an invoicing solution which
supports that.

Well, PHP/MySQL is just as easy/hard to interface to
Python/PostgreSQL as Java/ZopeDB would be. It can be made to
work but PHP/MySQL doesn't make it easier in any special way.

Billing is a rather difficult topic but perhaps some basic
leverage can be had.
