+SQLite is a C library that provides a lightweight disk-based database

 pysqlite was written by Gerhard H\"aring and provides a SQL interface
 compliant with the DB-API 2.0 specification described by
-\pep{249}. This means that it should be possible to write the first

-switching to a larger database such as PostgreSQL or Oracle is

 If you're compiling the Python source yourself, note that the source
 tree doesn't include the SQLite code, only the wrapper module.
