Well, there is a prebuilt DLL with encryption support for Windows bundled with 
wxSQLite3.

The catch is that for non-commercial solutions you don't have a guarantee *how* 
secure your encrypted database will be. The weak point of encryption is how the 
encryption key is generated and whether it's hard to crack or not.

I have no proof how secure my solution is but the encryption key is generated 
in much the same way as it is for Adobe PDF. So I guess what's good enough for 
PDF should be good enough for SQLite. But I won't give you a guarantee.

Although I know wxWidgets quite well I can't give a qualified answer to your 
question since I'm using C++ almost exclusively. But I heard wxPython to be 
very usable.
