Description : Persistent dict in Python, backed up by sqlite3 and pickle, multithread-safe

A lightweight wrapper around Python's sqlite3 database with a simple, Pythonic
dict-like interface and support for multi-thread access:
.
By default, sqlitedict's exception handling favors verbosity over efficiency.
It extracts and outputs the outer exception stack to the error logs.
.
Features include:
.
* Values can be any picklable objects (uses 'pickle' with the highest
protocol).
* Support for multiple tables (=dicts) living in the same database file.
* Support for access from multiple threads to the same connection (needed by
e.g. Pyro).
* Support for custom serialization or compression:

I plan to maintain this package as part of the Python modules team.
