There are always differences, in interfaces and in behaviour, between

different because they are very simply two database drivers, are not
the place where to start trying to unify interfaces. What you do, if
you want to deal with both drivers, is to write a wrapper unifying the
interfaces. I would be ok to adapt other drivers choices, if I agreed
with them, but I can't agree with an underscore method being
documented as part of the API: that's internal stuff and totally not
idiomatic Python.
My vote goes to have this method name without underscore, but I'll
leave the final decision to Federico.
Apart from a wrapper class one can always monkey-patch
my_dbapi_instance._get_native_connection =
my_dbapi_instance.get_native_connection
at runtime.
Right.

But not all bugs are an interesting challenge. Some are just a total
waste of my time, which usually is much more valuable than the time of
