I will try to clear this up as much as I can... Adodbapi lives in two places, as a stand-alone project on Sourceforge, and integrated with PyWin32. The Sourceforge project is needed for Iron Python, and has more documentation, and, originally, a faster upgrade cycle. The SF code was copied to pywin32 for easier installation and more convenience, but the file layout is slightly different. I did not have the capability to test the pywin32 installation so was unaware of the problem until too late. Then I went to work for another company which did not use Windows at all, so everything got kind of lost.
The move of pywin32 to GitHub, along with improved testing there will help to fix things. I am also building an SQL server test bench which I hope will be permanent. A patch has been submitted to fix the "missing file" problem, and I have changed my SF notifications to a different email address that I check more frequently. The python-win project is the preferred maintenance place. Meanwhile ... I am not getting any younger and an active back-up maintainer for the home adodbapi project would be very welcome if someone were willing to help out. At the present moment the "bus size" is one -- which is a bad thing. -- Vernon Cole On Sat, Feb 17, 2018 at 8:50 PM, Bob Kline <bkl...@rksystems.com> wrote: > So, could someone clear up a couple of odd little puzzles for me?
