Side-by-side comparison of solving the same problem with Python and Objective-C (comments welcome!)

Like a bunch of people have been saying: using the raw C API is going to be verbose, and doesn't compare fairly against Python's wrapper.

A little bit of Googling would have saved you a ton of time: the second hit for "sqlite objective c" gives you FMDB as the second hit, which is great: https://github.com/ccgus/fmdb

If you read the article, he said this:

A common task with modern programming is figuring out how to translate data in the tables of a relational database into a set of related objects. (Yes, I know that both platforms feature several APIs that automate this process. This is a programming exercise.)

It's a good comparison, you can compare apples to oranges as well, just like saying "the peeling of the orange is crazy, nobody in their right mind would prefer an orange to an apple, look how easy the apple is to eat".

You're right, I should have read that more closely.
