Yes, you excactly got my point. The thing is that I can't rely on
Python 2.5 to be installed soon.
So the only solution for me at this moment is to use jython and from
there use Java JDBC API (sorry :-) But it would be great if the Python
DB API compliant-modules would become parts of core python quickly.
Python DB API itself is a great thing.
