if I open a pysqlite connection in the process, then fork that process, can the
child safely use that connection?  Reason I ask is that I have a part of my
application which receives a connection from postfix postqueueing filter via
smtp and in order to handle a large final traffic, I fork on every connection
and write the message to a database and expire.  it would be nice if I didn't
have to establish a connection after every fork.

Yes, this is technically what threads are for but threads are evil and will bite
you in the butt every time.  :-)
