Yes, if autocommit is on. The part you didn't quote was that autocommit can be disabled in which case a SHARED lock is held. Since the documentation about what the DAL uses/needs/assumes about the underlying Python layer (pysqlite in this case) isn't there, its just easier to avoid using it outside of a Web2py application.
