This has also been discussed in the GUID thread, but I am bringing it back to this one...
I have basically completed the work of breaking adodbapi up into a package of smaller modules. It has really helped to make the code more readable. There is now a "remote" module, so that a programmer (on Windows or Linux) can do: import adodbapi.remote as db conn = db.connect('some connection string") and expect the resulting connection to operate pretty much as if it were a local database connection. There is also a server module: C:>py -m adodbapi.server host=0.0.0.0 Tearing the old monolithic module apart was key to making those happen. But now I am having trouble getting the legacy code in the test suite to handle some obscure cases. The easiest way out of my problem requires the use of explicit relative imports -- which were introduced in Python 2.5. Can we (please) drop 2.4? -- Vernon (P.S.: the "remote" and "server" modules require Pyro4, which in turn requires Python 2.6) I have carefully isolated the prerequisites so that they do not appear unless you try actually using the new routines.)
