This will go nowhere fast as it will be dependent on a JNI library (i.e.
linkage of C code).
The only durable option in the Java space would be a native implementation
of sqlite3.
All other options are not of the "embeddable" type (e.g. JDBC driver to
something running outside), defeating the main purpose of sqlite3.

To sum it up: I doubt that sqlite3 will be a realistic solution in the
Jython space. As per previous email, I suspect that a Python DBI to JDBC
bridge (bundled with Jython by default) + a default database (javadb/derby
or H2 or HSQLDB) is probably more realistic in the Java space.

On the OracleJDK javadb will require 0 dependencies. On other JDK or a JRE,
Apache derby.
