I would definitely love to see SQLite included in core python. I am a Unix systems/networking programmer myself. Just like the fact that everything looks like a database programmers to most database, I've observed that the reverse is true for non database programmers. In other words, most non RDMS normally don't think of a database even the solution screams for a database. I think SQLite does an amazing job in bridging this gap. > Agreed; python-dev has gotten pretty boring with all the endless discussions > over some minor point.

My memory may not be perfect but I remember reading that Python 2.5's focus is libraries and no language changes. If that's correct, I can understand why core python folks are more interested in discussing language features for Python 3000 ;-). Speaking of libraries, I haven't seen many discussions on libraries in python-dev. Is there some other list with more discussions on libraries?
