I remember posting a comment about the state of the DB API on c.l.py a
couple of months ago (soon after the famous AMK blog post on the std
library), and being quickly flamed by some well know DB-SIG members.
So that's *really* hard.

BTW, one of the reasons I've chosen to use SQLObject is that it
allowed me to abstract out the database implementation details much
more effectively than the DB API itself does. At the time I'd thought
that I would rather wash my hands in boiling water than start another
discussion on the DB-SIG. Oh dear, own naive :-)
