Well, feel free to sauté my own words and feed them to me :) A good 
test would be to start porting it to a few more database 
implementations. Oracle or some ODBC-based connection would be great, 
but I don't have access to that. I can try for PostgreSQL if you like 
(via pyPgSQL or psycopg) if you like. Does it come with a bunch of unit 
tests ?
