Thanks Michael. I have a sybase.py passing *some* unit tests with both
pyodbc and the Sybase driver, both running on Solaris 10 x86 against
ASE 15. This is a hack that seems to work for the Sybase DBAPI module.
I do have access to lots and lots of different Sybase stuff so I will
start from your patched version and reintegrate my schema
introspection and other stuff. Do you have a ticket open for the
sybase driver yet? Where should I send the patches?

**kwargs):

            hacked_args = dict(("@"+n, v) for n,v in parameters.items
())

        self.autocommit = False

            self.autocommit = bool(int(opts.pop('autocommit')))

        dictArgs = {
            'datetime'    : 'python',        # Stop the annoying
diagnostics from the module
            'auto_commit' : self.autocommit, # the named argument is
called 'auto_commit' rather than 'autocommit'
            }

        if 'database' in opts:
            dictArgs['database'] = opts['database']

        return ([opts['host'], opts['username'], opts['password']],
dictArgs)
