> Want to use a relational database? You don't need to install a library (often one that requires a C extension in a language like Python or Ruby). It's just part of the language.

I'm being pedantic here, but technically it's still a C extension that most package managers install by default.

Yea, I was thinking about writing that, but it seemed really pedantic given that it's basically always there. I mean, Python never comes with Flask or a MySQL driver. You never end up paying for a PHP host without it. But you are technically correct, the best kind of correct!

You can use sqlite in python out of the box.
