hey frank - awesome ! i had tried Jython a little bit but had probs getting its 2.3 support happening. glad to hear its able to import sqlalchemy.
this does raise an issue which has come up a few times, which is the best strategy to break up our dialects to support a common database among different drivers. We do have an ad-hoc approach to this in mssql.py and its been suggested that we might want to break up the system to support things like mxODBC. I think the approach we take would wind up having urls like "jdbc:mysql://<url>" and such, breaking up dialects to be two distinct levels. anyway, we've had our eye on someday having Jython working with SA all the way since the beginning, so whatever I can do to help let me know, or stop by on #sqlalchemy on freenode. - mike On Jul 16, 2007, at 11:19 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Hi all, > > My name is Frank Wierzbicki and I'm the primary maintainer of Jython. > We are about to release 2.2, so I've turned my attention to post 2.2 > stuff.
