Unless you've recanted on that already, let me point out that I've never seen sqlite, and I've ignored this thread, so I don't know what the disagreement is all about.

what disagreement ?

sqlite is a widely used light-weight SQL library (http://www.sqlite.org) that's an excellent choice for many kind of applications. it has no com- petition in this space.

gerald's pysqlite binding is a second-generation implementation of the full DB-API (http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0249/) for sqlite.

from a user perspective, adding this to the standard library is a no-brainer. the only reason not to add it would be if the release managers don't have time to sort out the build issues.
