Grant: ( I read your new source code before commenting ... NICE PROJECT ! <insert back patting here> )
The constants you are using here are hard-coded into adodbapi, therefore adodbapi.adTinyInt has the same value as adTinyInt in your dbe_globals.py and win32com.client.constants.adTinyInt I assume that those values are not likely to change -- since they end up in a lot of static compiled code -- and a few extra hard-coded definitions of them laying around in Python source modules should not be a source of difficulty. IMHO your recent solution is correct. My goal is to get adodbapi to the point where it can be pretty much a drop-in replacement for pgdb and MySQLdb in most cases, so that programmers can use it to start moving code like yours into newer and/or weirder environments (i.e. IronPython and Python 3). I will be referring to your work as I add postgresql tests to the adodbapi suite. -- Vernon Cole On Thu, Aug 27, 2009 at 5:51 AM, Grant Paton-Simpson <gr...@p-s.co.nz>wrote: > Hi Harald, > > I managed to make a file containing everything I needed.
