I can't help but be +1. Though I have found various uses for the btree,
hash, and recno databases available via bsddb, having a built-in SQL
database would be quite convenient; saving people from having to install
any one of the dozen+ SQL variants for their platform in order to
prototype or even develop a full system using SQL.
While I haven't used pysqlite extensively, when I did, I found that it
worked quite well for what I was doing.
