This came up before (back in October 2004!) but didn't go anywhere since, AFAICR. Do we want to consider including pysqlite in Python 2.5? It's the only DB adaptor that I'd really consider suitable for shipping with the distribution, because it's self-contained.

What's people's thoughts?

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.
