Proboscis as Portable Driver

Though, I'm not a Java developer, I've long been impressed by the
portability of pure Java database drivers and wanted this in Python even
at a moderate performance penalty. I started work on my own before I
ran across PostgresPy and specifically Proboscis. In the goals section
of the docs, it mentions a DB-API 2.0 interface and I was thrilled when
I saw dbapi2.py in cvs.
So now I'm wondering how difficult would it be to provide a portable
driver using Proboscis. By portable, I mean you can include the driver
with your application so that there are no external requirements other
than the Python interpreter and standard library. Maybe a Python egg?
I'm going along to play with dbapi2.py and eggs. Thanks for the great
software.
