not as of yet as there are no DBAPI implementations for Python 3 and SQL Server, or at least none we have been able to test with. You can check the status of database support at http://www.sqlalchemy.org/docs/core/engines.html#supported-databases . > It seems like sqlalchemy uses some > intermediate modules (e.g., pymssql) to talk to the server, and none > of these modules are Py3 compatible.

If you for example use pip or easy_install, there is one front-end for each version of python. On my system I have "easy_install-3.2" and "easy_install-2.7", for example (thats just how the OSX installers put it in, if you're on an RPM /apt system, which im guessing is the case, they likely have some different convention). If you are just running "setup.py install", again you'd run the python interpreter you want: /path/to/python2 setup.py install -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sqlalchemy" group.
