Hi, Robert,

Sorry if that and the earlier message were unclear. The Python module
does Python DPAPI without any help from the standalone executable.
AFAICT (so far) the standalone executable also links to the library; it
provides a command-line interface to most/all the underlying sqlite
functionality. This is my understanding, but as stated earlier, I
haven't been playing with it for long, and maybe the Python module goes
way beyond DBAPI and I haven't stumbled on the extra goodies yet.

Regards,
John
