There are a few such libraries out there which take care of
such conversions. The standard itself cannot provide an example
implementation.

No, the standard only defines a per module global for the
paramstyle.

We might want to extend this to connections and cursors
as well in DB APi 3.0, to make it easier to write such conversion
routines, and then perhaps also make those attributes writable,
so that the paramstyle can be adjusted on a per connection and
cursor basis.

For DB-API 3.0 there's a proposal to make support for the two
paramstyles 'named' and 'qmark' mandatory (but leave all existing
styles in the standard), or reduce the number of standard
paramstyles to these two.
