Bug#288183: Missing examples from python-sqlite, and a new upstream version (1.1.6)

[Sebastian Rasmussen]

Package: python-sqlite
Version: 1.0-2
Severity: wishlist

Hi!

I've got two wishlist items for the python-sqlite package:

1. I would appreciate if the examples (converts.py, dbapi_transactions.py
and manual_transaction.py) were packaged. At the moment the only way to
know how python-sqlite works is by using python's help, but examples are
also informative.

2. pysqlite.org links to a download page at sourceforge which lists 1.0.1,
1.1.6 and 2.0.alpha1 as the latest version of their respective branches.
In Debian (both testing an unstable) there is only version 1.0-2, so an
update of the Debian packages would be appreciated.

I hope that you've got time on your hands to sort these wishlist items out,
since I plan to use python-sqlite for a small project of mine. :-)

Thanks in advance

/ Sebastian Rasmussen

Right. How about a python-sqlite-doc package with manual.txt and the
examples?

I'll package and upload 1.0.1 soon. As for the SQLite 3-based
versions, I have not yet decided on what to do. My current plan is to
ignore the 1.1 branch and instead package 2.0 as python-sqlite3 (or
some other appropriate name) when it is released. The intention is of
course to keep python-sqlite compatible with SQLite 2 databases. Do
you have any opinions about this?

I also use SQLite for a project of mine. Works very well. :-)

Joel
