"Something like it" *is* included in Python. Python 2.5 includes SQLite in the standard library. Where do we draw the line? You want MySQL, I want PostgreSQL, he wants Firebird, they want an interface to something proprietary. The standard library is for modules that are *small* and/or *generally useful*. SQLite meets the former, and to some extent the latter, far more than does a MySQL interface. All the *extra* stuff is what you're paying the hosting company to take care of in the first place. -- \ "It's a small world, but I wouldn't want to have to paint it." | `\ -- Steven Wright | _o__) | Ben Finney -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
