I didn't know that sqlite3 was included there. It does work in 2.5, so 
it seems
like the only problem is that I list more requirements than needed. Are 
there
still distributions around that don't have 2.5 in their 'stable' branch? 
I don't
mean really tiny distributions, but the likes of ubuntu, debian, suse, 
RH, etc.
On the second point, I didn't use that module before so I didn't even think
about it. I started with 'print' statement then went to a small 2-line 
function
then added to it when I needed to so it sort of grown rather than being
designed.

That's something I wanted to ask about, by the way. It does cause a problem
when it tries to print out and there's no terminal to print to, then 
these parts
of the app just don't work. I have to turn off debugging when I use it 
without
a terminal (i.e. by double-clicking on desktop). Is there a quick workaround
or the quick work around would be using logging module?

thx,
