+1 for an immediate switch to using datetime objects in odbc. That will make adodbapi and odbc a little more compatible. (They will never be completely compatible since odbc was written to an earlier api spec.) Because of historical reasons, adodbapi defaults to mxDateTime, if present, and datetime if not. (It will also return old Python time objects if you ask it to.) . I am thinking that adodbapi should also default to datetime in some future revision (Perhaps Roger's py3k version?). The present default has bit me before. The two types don't support all of the same operations, so if you install eGenix base suddenly your time comparisons quit working. My guess is that most people who use mxDateTime also use mxODBC rather than either of our free api's, so a change in default would not bite as many people as the status quo. -- Vernon Cole
