Well, feel free to sauté my own words and feed them to me :) A good
test would be to start porting it to a few more database
implementations. Oracle or some ODBC-based connection would be great,
but I don't have access to that. I can try for PostgreSQL if you like
(via pyPgSQL or psycopg) if you like. Does it come with a bunch of unit
tests ?
