Yep. The fact that PySqlite is now part of the standard library has already created a de facto standard, and most other database modules seem to follow it.

The "shortcut" methods you describe were explicitly removed when moving from DB-API 1.0 to 2.0, so it's not a good idea to reintroduce them :-)
But PySqlite has already reintrocuced them. They are now also part of the standard library:
