Message10018

In msg8757, I proposed implementing outside of Jython's development process. However, given that we are planning to move to a 6 month release cycle, this doesn't seem to be so important - when the implementation of sqlite3 is done, we can make it part of the next 2.7.x release.

I also examined Xerial's support for what is required. As far as I can tell, all necessary functionality is implemented, including extension loading. Testing varies in the Python 2.7 test suite - there's no testing at all for extensions (see https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/b53996dead8c6a602d3f4f6c73bdd4573d0e49ef), but most other testing seems to be more than adequate.
