Constant queries on c.l.python for "Which DB module should I use"
would indicate that having a standard and to many choices isn't really
better than having no standard and to many choices.

Marking one web framework - or one DB module - as blessed would
certainly ease the problem. I don't have a problem with that, but I
don't build a Python distribution.

I'm not convinced these would be fairly easy to cerate. If you think
that's the case, please take a shot at it, as I think such a standard
would be a good thing.
