They won't be. The reason that sqlite is is because it is self-contained. But your average DB itself you need to install using a platform-specific build. And building the the extensions even requires proprietary libraries installed (think of oracle) - so without having installed a dozen or more DBs, no one could build python! So - no chance that this will ever happen. The only thing you could do is to try and convince the DB-vendors to provide pure python DB drivers - as they do it for java.
