Somewhat OT, but as a longtime Python programmer I've recently been enjoying playing w/ Go (http://golang.org/ http://golang.org/) which combines the lightweight syntax of dynamic languages like Python w/ static type safety and efficiency in a single language. And it's easy to wrap C libraries in Go. See http://code.google.com/p/gosqlite/source/browse/sqlite/sqlite.go http://code.google.com/p/gosqlite/source/browse/sqlite/sqlit... for an example of a Go Sqlite binding in < 300 lines.
