[ANN] pysqlite 3.0 alpha1

During the last two months I wrote a new implementation of pysqlite that 
should be as compatible to the existing one as possible, but is based on 
ctypes. The goal is to (hopefully) provide PyPy with an implementation 
of the sqlite3 module in its standard library.

It would be great if you could test how this release works for you. The 
API *should* be compatible to pysqlite 2.x in theory.

Fancy stuff like user functions/aggregates and hooks are missing because

1) I was too either to dumb to implement that using ctypes without 
abusing ctypes
2) These would require using ctypes' py_object which won't work on PyPy 
anyway

You can download everything straight from my Mercurial repository:

http://hg.ghaering.de/pysqlite3/archive/4d9bd0aea479.tar.gz

You will need a recent SQLite release for this (I believe 3.5 or 
higher). For Windows, be sure to place the SQLite DLL somewhere it can 
be found (like c:\windows or something).

Have fun!
