module.

Fixes issue #3103. In the sqlite3 module, made one more function static. All renaming public symbos now have the pysqlite prefix to avoid name clashes. This at least once created problems where the same symbol name appeared somewhere in Apache and the sqlite3 module was used from mod_python.

Python 2.6 should stick with PyString_* in its codebase.  The PyBytes_* names
in the spirit of 3.0 are available via a #define only.  See the email thread.

merged into the 2.5 maintenance branch:

- self->statement was not checked while fetching data, which could
  lead to crashes if you used the pysqlite API in unusual ways.
  Closing the cursor and continuing to fetch data was enough.

- Converters are stored in a converters dictionary. The converter name
  is uppercased first. The old upper-casing algorithm was wrong and
  was replaced by a simple call to the Python string's upper() method
  instead.

-Applied patch by Glyph Lefkowitz that fixes the problem with
 subsequent SQLITE_SCHEMA errors.

- Improvement to the row type: rows can now be iterated over and have a keys()
  method. This improves compatibility with both tuple and dict a lot.

- A bugfix for the subsecond resolution in timestamps.

- Corrected the way the flags PARSE_DECLTYPES and PARSE_COLNAMES are
  checked for. Now they work as documented.

- gcc on Linux sucks. It exports all symbols by default in shared
  libraries, so if symbols are not unique it can lead to problems with
  symbol lookup.  pysqlite used to crash under Apache when mod_cache
  was enabled because both modules had the symbol cache_init. I fixed
  this by applying the prefix pysqlite_ almost everywhere. Sigh.

follow in a few hours at the latest. Then we should be ready for beta1.

This is based on pysqlite2.1.3, and provides a DB-API interface in
the standard library. You'll need sqlite 3.2.2 or later to build
this - if you have an earlier version, the C extension module will
not be built.
