unless you interpret "database module" as "a database abstraction layer for
my application", in which case it's a good idea -- unless you prefer to use a
ready-made ORM:
http://projects.amor.org/dejavu
http://skunkweb.sourceforge.net/pydo.html
http://sqlobject.org/
(etc)
or a web framework that contains an ORM:
http://www.djangoproject.com/
http://www.turbogears.org/
(etc)
