This sounds like a local problem related to some desktop environment. 
This problem does not relate to C++ and even less to databases, so it 
has nothing to do with SOCI. Right? :-)

Is it fair to expect the SOCI project to solve somebody's local desktop 
configuration issues?

Heh - migration to SVN has similar properties: it can be done once, but 
we've not done it yet. :-)

What prevents you from providing the connection parameters as arguments 
to tests? If you need to store them in a config file, you can do it 
without involving the tests themselves. Right?

SOCI does have a unit test engine already. It was prepared by Steve 
Hutton and it serves its purpose quite well.

It does not really matter. The Python module would not be strictly part 
of the SOCI core library, but rather an add-on. It can have its own 
rules and conventions without any relation to the core part of the project.
I agree that Boost.Python is probably the best choice for this kind of work.
