I imagine that's the "setup" OP is talking about. You need to install it
separately as opposed to bsddb. I wish SQLite is bundled with Python 2.5. To
the OP, you could try gadfly (http://gadfly.sourceforge.net/gadfly.html) or
KirbyBase (http://www.netpromi.com/kirbybase.html) but they are also
separate packages to install. I would personally stick with SQLite.
