Ehm... .it _is_ another set of vendors and maintainers. It's just that they are standard jdbc-compliant. As the python modules are DB API 2.0 compliant - hopefully. A difference might be that most (not all) of the jdbc-drivers are java-only, and not have any c-dependencies. Well - nice to have, but simple inclusion of existing drivers doesn't remove that. Only a complete rewrite in python would. Diez -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
