Let me try to take both sides simultaneously: For: would add an SQL library to the standard distribution, and one that doesn't depend on additional infrastructure on the target machine (such as an existing database server); the author of that library is fine with including it in Python Against: Adds work-load on the release process, adding more libraries to the already-large list of new libraries for 2.5. Choice of naming things is ad-hoc, but gets cast in stone by the release; likewise, choice of specific SQL library might inhibit addition of different libraries later. I'm sure people will add to the list if they think I omitted important points.
