I take it that this is not going to go into 2.5a1 ?! Also your statement regarding sqlite3 suggests that sqlite itself is not included - why not ? Isn't the main argument for having pysqlite included in the core to be able to play around with SQL without relying on external libraries ? -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Services directly from the Source (#1, Mar 30 2006) >>> Python/Zope Consulting and Support ... http://www.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC.Zope.Database.Adapter ... http://zope.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC, mxDateTime, mxTextTools ... http://python.egenix.com/ ________________________________________________________________________ ::: Try mxODBC.Zope.DA for Windows,Linux,Solaris,FreeBSD for free ! :::: _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
