[DB-SIG] PEP version of DB-API

[Federico Di Gregorio]

Scavenging the mail folder uncovered M.-A. Lemburg's letter:

> The general guideline for the DB API is to keep it flexible enough
> for interface authors to add their own extensions and OTOH to not
> make it too complicated for the authors to follow it (i.e. it shouldn't
> prevent authors from starting to code interfaces). Also, it has
> to assure that even low-tech databases can be DB API compliant to

i completely agree. i much welcomed addition to the dbapi would be
(as someone else said) the "formalization" of the parts that are
left to the author. lets keep extensions to the api *well separated*
from the api itself.

ciao,
federico
