Python and SQLite release cycles

Hi,

Official Python distro is very stable, with release cycle of around 1
year. However, to include the new version of SQLite, which has a much
shorter release cycle, one has to rebuild the main Python distribution
(to compile with the new SQLite headers) - this is from Python docs.
Therefore, inclusion of PySQLite in Python-2.5.1 distro effectively
shrinks the Python release cycle to that of SQLite. I would not have
minded, except that we have many workstations and pretty arcane
deployment procedure, making frequent redeployment of Python quite
painful.
Has anyone considered this problem and maybe a work-around?

Many thanks in advance,

Mikhail

I think you misrepresent horse and rider here: python release cycles are
independent of SQLites. I'm pretty sure they might contain new versions if
these are API-compatible (remember, python's shipped SQLite won't be
allowed to break existing stuff).

In all cases, you can decouple them easily (the same way with element-tree):
just install sqlite explicitly as a module. It's under a different name
(not sure which right out of my head), so they don't conflict.
