SQLite will be included with the Windows distribution. Not sure about Macs; as Fredrik pointed out, most Linux/BSD distros should make that simple. As for why SQLite, there seems to be a consensus that it's the only truly zero-admin SQL solution that provides decent SQL compatibility and performance. For more about the decision, I suggest you read the python-dev archives. -- Aahz ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ "LL YR VWL R BLNG T S" -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
