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.

SQLite/pysqlite is an awesome combination, and I do think it would make for a more compelling Python distribution. I've used it in several projects, usually with great success. My only hesitation is that in one project, we've had to stick with SQLite 3.2.1 and pysqlite 1.1.6 because we encountered some concurrency problems when trying to upgrade the former to 3.2.8. We couldn't upgrade both to the latest versions due to external project management constraints.

But I'm not sure that's enough of a reason to vote against inclusion, so I guess I'm +0. Having Gerhard accept maintainership definitely pushes it from -0 to +0 in my mind. It's got lots of unit tests, so the only thing I'd probably want to see are Python docs for the module. I think Gerhard could still do more frequent releases if he wanted to -- I do that with the email package, and while it's a bit of a PITA, it's doable.

Either sqlite or sqlitedb are fine names.
