I have just released an upgraded version (2.5.0) of adodbapi on its sourceforge site. http://sf.net/projects/adodbapi
( I suppose that I should say here, for the benefit on new readers, that adodbapi is a PEP 249 compliant database api module which ships as part of pywin32, as well as being available separately for IronPython users.) Version 2.5 adds several new features, the most important of which is a server module which can be used to enable a Windows computer to act as a proxy so that a Linux (or Windows) client can use it to read an ADO data source. This version is a key part of an update to django-mssql which I am now working on. There are other new features which would be handy to Windows users in general. Connection strings can be built using keyword arguments, and can be used to switch the default paramstyle and autocommit features of the connection. Because the remote and server modules use Pyro4 to communicate, and since Pyro4 requires Python 2.5 or later, I have made use of Python 2.5 features in the new version. [ Relax, everyone. The old way of connecting works just like it always has -- you only need Pyro if you import the new modules. ] This means that there is now a version mismatch between the adodbapi in pywin32 and the one on sourceforge. There is nothing dangerous about that, it only makes things a bit inconvenient for users who want the new features. I cannot upgrade the module here until the decision has been made to drop Python 2.4 support. The version in pywin32 (adodbapi v 2.4.3) has been updated with the latest support requests and patches. -- Vernon Cole
