(Hope it's the right mailing list...)

Python-DBCore is a wrapper around Python-DB 2.0 API drivers.

Python-DBCore tries to bridge the differences in connection string
syntax. Modules importing python-dbcore do not even need to initialize
the database. to get a connection, all they have to do is to call
DBCore.Factory.Generate().

It also provides a smart and efficent connection pooling system. 

for read-only requests, it can generate cursors, each time from
different connection(it can be done by one connection only if needed)

For transactional operations, which need a dedicted channel, it keeps a
pool of connections, and creates/destroys connections if empty/full,
optionally done in big chunks.

It currently supports MySql(by MySQLdb), and Postgres(using Popy or
psycopg), however, it shouldn't be too hard to add other databases as
well.
