PyDal is a database abstraction layer for Python. It provides a DBAPI 2.0 wrapper for DBAPI 2.0 drivers. Sounds strange, but even drivers that fully conform to the API can differ enough to make building database independent applications difficult. Two major abstractions handled by PyDal are paramstyles and datetime objects. PyDal makes it possible to use the same paramstyle and datetime types with any module that conforms to DBAPI 2.0. In addition, paramstyles and datetime types are configurable. The project is hosted on Sourceforge.
Currently available via Subversion.
