I have -- for simple things, where I'd have used flat-file text storage
anyway. In that context it works well and saves a lot of time & utilitarian
coding. DateTime support, in particular, is nice.
For more complex uses, howerver, one must be aware that it doesn't compare
to SQLite or even Gadfly -- it doesn't do SQL for starters (has its own
simple, pythonesque query syntax) and is more geared to single-table usage
(no joins, lookups, cursors out of the box).
When it fits the bill though, it's probably the simplest, easiest and most
lightweight pure-python solution available.
