Probably not this way. BUT: Google already supports quite a lot of language research.
For Instance they hired G v Rossum, the python BenevolentDictatorForLIfe,
and AFAIK he is free to spent a sizable chunk of his paid time to better python,
another part to use python inside Google. Another one is Alex Martelli.

So it might help to make a better case and adress
it to specific people - and no, I have no idea whom to adress. But I would take a
dbf compatible table/cursor engine (including index, conflict managment ***and*** SQL-QL)
embedded into Python into my arsenal IMMEDIATLY.

my 0.22 (have even daydreamed about it <g>)
