Personally, I’d be quite interested in seeing all the database systems converge on one format and loading mechanism, maybe a common package implementing it. Maybe discuss on DB-SIG?

Standard library!

(well, something similar should be added to the standard library, at least. where the “schema” part is used to locate the driver, and driver-specific code handles the rest of the “uri”)

I do:

try:
import sqlite3 # Python 2.5 and up
except ImportError:
from pysqlite2 import dbapi2 as sqlite3

in similar ‘central’ db access code (I create a connection wrapper that inits the tables if needed, and adds convenience methods and abstractions). See:
