I've done some libtool work before, and am planning on working towards making the database and auth providers modular during the next development cycle. Somehow I suspect that these are not the layers that you're thinking about tying to Python, however :-P Would you want to tap the functionality of just the midlevel db.c? Or also have the header, mime, misc, sort functions?
At the moment DBMail really isn't layered enough to do this. We certainly could also work on splitting up the layers with clearer specifications, but this also limits our flexibility. Just in the past two weeks, I've rebuilt a number of core delivery functions around better understandings of message size and rfc size and added an entirely new data structure for handling deliveries. With bingings to Python, etc, tapping directly into this middle layer, it becomes immutable except between major releases... There's also the point of view that key components should not be rewritten in the weeks before a release rather than making what we got just work... but IMHO breaking things quickly and fixing them well is always better than hacking to keep within an obsolete spec, except when that spec is frozen (such as interfaces to key libraries, and believe me, this drives library people batty when they think about how they could make just a little change to improve everything for themselves and downstream consumers of the library!)
