Why did you reject object-craft solution? Was it because it was not finished or some other reason? BTW I did not know about object-craft.
I was asking if we had rejected it, not proclaiming that we had. Before I replied I did a quick google for "python microsoft sql server dbapi2" and object-craft was in the first page.
My idea was to use the isql interfaces on both platforms. But for some reason the window side just fails. But the hacking on the Linux side is not a good solution either IMO. So I wrote an email to the guy who did the sybase interface for perl. I'm hoping he might provide some insights. I took a look at the psycopg (for postgres) 'c' code and it is very small. So the thinking is why not at least see what could be done with a 'c' interface. Granted it's been many years since I used 'c' but I have a son that programs in 'c' daily.
Hey, if you are the first to come up with something that works for Win, Lin, and Mac, then your solution will be what we use.
I guess most everyone is using mxodbc, which we could do too. We don't distribute the db drivers anyway, so it would be up to the people that need it to pay for and install mxodbc. I guess I'm saying let's not completely discount that, if it works.
