Hardly, first off Sweden (I'm a swedish native) has already done covert extraditions of atleast two swedish citizens to USA authorities.
Secondly Assange has offered to come to Sweden if given the promise that the Swedish government won't be extradite him to the USA, something the Swedish government refuses to do.
So yes, as a swedish native I have no doubt that 'my government' would indeed extradite him should he set his foot on swedish soil again. And he is not even called upon to stand trial, he is to be 'questioned' regarding the case of 'refusing to use a condom during consentual sex'. Something which could be done perfectly well over video link.
That such accusations would render an 'international arrest warrant' is ample proof that this is nothing but political. Here is a good article regarding the 'case' from Naomi Wolf, a known feminist who has followed and reported on rape law for over 20 years.

- dagw 13y agosomething the Swedish government refuses to do. Not that I disagree with your sentiment, but that isn't really true. The case isn't that they refuse to give such a promise, it's that they are legally prohibited from make such a promise due to the laws regarding ministerstyre.
