Re: python3.0 MySQLdb
So the final questions was, is there anything els on the menu besides PostgreSQL, like MySql for example ? There is sqlite3 also; it is included in Python 3. Otherwise, I don't think any other DB-API compliant database connectors have been ported to Python 3 yet; it may take many months until somebody volunteers to port a MySQL driver. The difference to your restaurant example is that the market for red wine is many hundred years old. The market for Python 3 modules is just a month old. Hence, you have different offers for red wine, but nearly none for Python 3 modules. Regards, Martin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Yes it was enough, but I can not imagine it has not been done yet for MySql either :) Well, this actually is the case: MySql has not been ported. As far as I can see the mysql python module in general (meaning for the 2.x branch) is not as well maintained as some others and questions about windows vs. linux issues periodically come up on the mailing list. So I would not be surprised if porting mysql to the 3.x branch will take longer and will be less well-maintained than other database bindings.

If not I will take PostgreSQL please. The 3.x branch just as the 2.x branch contains bindings to sqlite. This you can use from day 1, the 3.0 release contains it.

Re: python3.0 MySQLdb
Daniel Well, this actually is the case: MySql has not been ported. As Daniel far as I can see the mysql python module in general (meaning for Daniel the 2.x branch) is not as well maintained as some others and Daniel questions about windows vs. linux issues periodically come up on Daniel the mailing list. So I would not be surprised if porting mysql Daniel to the 3.x branch will take longer and will be less Daniel well-maintained than other database bindings. Unless you have direct evidence to the contrary people should take what you wrote with a grain of salt. In my experience Andy Dustman has been quite responsive to inputs about MySQLdb, when those inputs happen in the forum he inhabits. That forum is the MySQL forum tool on SourceForge: http://sourceforge.net/forum/?group_id=22307 If you're curious about MySQLdb on Python 3.0 that is the place to ask. Of course, like all open source software if you provide a patch in the project tracker things will happen faster. -- Skip Montanaro - s...@pobox.com - http://smontanaro.dyndns.org/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Unless you have direct evidence to the contrary people should take what you wrote with a grain of salt. What I wrote is of course solely my own experience. When I needed to use a database with python I looked around and tried to guess which db binding is the most mature, stable, well-maintained, etc. Meaning, I'd like to have the least amount of compilation/linking problems for both windows and linux and I'd like to have the least amount of runtime problems. I did what I guess anybody would have done: a google search on the main database bindings. From this rather ad hoc research I concluded that mysqldb has more problems than the other major databases. In my experience Andy Dustman has been quite responsive to inputs about MySQLdb, when those inputs happen in the forum he inhabits. I agree with you and I didn't say anything which contradicts your statement. Being very responsive to problems is absolutely compatible with having some problems. That forum is the MySQL forum tool on SourceForge: http://sourceforge.net/forum/?group_id=22307 If you're curious about MySQLdb on Python 3.0 that is the place to ask. Of course, like all open source software if you provide a patch in the project tracker things will happen faster. Sure, we agree again. But since my impression about the OP's question was that his/her main intention is not really code contribution but rather a solution to use, I'd say this is pretty much irrelevant for the OP. But yes, we agree on how development of open source projects go :) Cheers, Daniel -- Psss, psss, put it down! - http://www.cafepress.com/putitdown -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Exactly. One could think about 3-4 different potentially useful answers to the OP but when one sees 3-4 immediately right after reading the post then probably there are a couple more still after some thinking. So if the OP specifies exactly what he/she wants, he/she will get more signal than noise.
