Do you really think that this would be the right approach ? Sounds like code bloat to me...
It depends. This is definitely a frequently requested feature, and that's what I go by... Plus, I know that the various DB packages (mxODBC notwithstanding :-) are of, eh, varying quality.
BTW, I'm still waiting for one of the PSF sponsors to create the mythical Sumo distribution of Python. Any news in that direction ?
I don't recall either of the sponsors promising, although I would say that ActivePython might be a good start. I remember one of the regular members promising this, but apparently his fork was larger than his mouth (as we say in Holland). --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
