No, actually this is the first time I hear about it. Thanks for a pointer - I'll look into that.

Although the LGPL license seems like a downer - if I understand it correctly it means that either I should distribute my software as open source or compile that particular library into some kind of external .dll, right?

It's set up as an external system anyway. You'd have to do extra work to hack it in. Otherwise, that is true.

The lib seems impressive. Anything which Python's bindings can do 65K inserts in 110ms deserves a lot of attention!!

Now I just have to attempt to make it's Python bindings compile under Windows :( It's hacking time!

Thanks for the tip!
