SQLObject isn't really mature enough, and seems too complex to really be 
right for the standard library.  Maybe something like dbrow, though. 
But most low-level database libraries or extensions really belong as 
part of the DB API, and the DB API is implement on a per-backend basis. 
  Most high-level libraries are outside the scope of the standard 
library.  dbrow is kind of an anomoly, being both low-level and fairly 
database-neutral.
