Actually - http://www.pythonweb.org/ will handle the SQL (and many other
tasks) in a much simpler way!

If you do try the web.database.object examples, be aware that the docs are
not entirely tracking the code; f.ex. databases have no "type" parameter;
it's an "adapter"

i.e.
connection = web.database.connect(type="sqlite",database="object-simple.db")
should be:
connection =
web.database.connect(adapter="sqlite",database="object-simple.db")'

there are probably others - it's good to see what the parameters are in
"idle" if something does not work as advertised.

Overall, Pythonweb is very impressive work IMO.
