Hi all,
I am just starting to learn Python and I have a setup problem - I think.
Python 3.1.
<snip>
def connect(connection_string, timeout=30):
I expected that to be called.
What have I missed?
The current revision includes the caveat:
This module source should run correctly in CPython versions 2.3 and
later, or IronPython version 2.6 and later, or, after running through
2to3.py, CPython 3.0 or later.
Does that help?
Emile
Thanks for the response Emile,
I have also removed all my Python installations and started again - with
same result.
After installing Python3.1 and pywin32-214.win32-py3.1.exe (which
includes adodbapi)
I was getting System does not exist.
I have run 2to3.py on adodbapi and I still get this trackback.
D:\websites\moschatel\sop\Printing>test.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "D:\websites\moschatel\sop\Printing\test.py", line 16, in <module>
import adodbapi
File "C:\Python31\lib\site-packages\adodbapi\__init__.py", line 1, in
<module>
from .adodbapi import *
File "C:\Python31\lib\site-packages\adodbapi\adodbapi.py", line 57, in
<module
>
from System import Activator, Type, DBNull, DateTime, Array, Byte
ImportError: No module named System
I suspect that is movement, not progress. :)
In a windows environment 3.x and 2.x live side-by-side without issues.
I haven't made the jump yet to using 3.x for production, but as the
warning says "... should run correctly ..." I'd try next with
activestate's 2.x version which should come with all the right bits and
pieces, and particularly as you're just starting out using 2.x shouldn't
matter much.
HTH,
Emile
