There was already another proposal for an sqlite-based dbm module, you may want to synchronize with it: http://bugs.python.org/issue3783

As I see it, the problem with introducing it in 3.0.1 is that we would be rushing in a new piece of code without much review or polish. Also, there are only two release blockers left for 3.0.1, so we might just finish those and release, then concentrate on 3.1.

Antoine.
