Try looking at PyDO - This provides an interface between Python and your database. This allows you to change your database at a later time and not have to change any Python.
The excerpt below is from: http://skunkweb.sourceforge.net/PyDO2/api/html/public/pydo-module.html PyDO (Python Data Objects) is an object-relational wrapper for relational databases. It provides a convenient API for retrieving and manipulating data without constraining in any way how the data is persisted at the RDBMS level. Supported databases are: * postgresql * mysql * sqlite * mssql * oracle -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Patricia Sent: Sunday, June 11, 2006 4:19 PM To: tutor@python.org Subject: [Tutor] connect to a remote machine - Linux Hi All, I need to connect to a remote computer on the same network to store data into its mysql database, and I need to do this using python script. Although I've used mysql and python before, I have no idea how to access a remote computer with Python. Also, I would have to enter a passphrase and password to successfully connect to it.. I'd appreciate any help. Thanks!!
