Brad and I are hoping to include BioSQL on SQLite support in the
imminent release of Biopython 1.53, although we will stress in the
release notes that this (and the schema) is still experimental.

For this initial release, the user probably still have to manually
create the SQLite database - this is something I hope we can make
much more user friendly in the subsequent releases of Biopython
(taking advantage of the fact the SQLite is included with Python 2.5
onwards, so we can do this without any external dependencies).
