Is there any reason that should be part of the main Webware release?


The DBUtils package is actually completely independent from Webware.
It could be used as well by other application servers or other multi-threading environments.

But since nearly all Webware applications need database access and in view of the "batteries included" paradigm, I thought it would be a good idea to make it a "Utils" plug-in similar to MiscUtils. Actually, it replaces the MiscUtils/DBPool.py module completely.

To me, Webware's lack of a conventional Python installation process has always been a serious problem. There's no reason to use Webware's distribution mechanism (which clearly is slow and error prone, which has a lot to do with the many-year delay of 0.9) when you have a new piece of code that can easily be distributed by itself.
