  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.
