Agreed. As a SQL user, it feels like a no-brainer to me, as well. I'd love to see a DB-API compliant module, and an embedded SQL database, in the core. I don't believe that there's anything comparable to (py)sqlite on that score.
And as Anthony pointed out, it provides a nice upgrade path to "bigger" SQL/DB-API solutions.
+1 from me.
+1 here, too; just as /f said, the only real issue is time (as in, is it too late to get such a package into 2.5), but with the volunteering I've seen that should be feasible. I just hope we get a BDFL +1 soon so I can add the good news to the 2nd ed of "Python in a Nutshell", which is due to go "printers-wards" about 8-9 days from now (in order to be ready for OSCON -- the times from final text version to paper are NOT brief:-).
