I don't think Django can natively use unixODBC as it's ORM backend, unfortunately. It would be great if it did!
You could Django without the ORM, of course. To connect from a Win server (why would want to do that? ;), you could use ClientAccess. To connect from Linux, you could use IBM's Linux version of the ClientAccess drivers. All other unices would need the DB2 xpress install, configured to use unixODBC (which works, but to connect one DB2 server to another, you have to pay for the connectivity driver...it's kind of underhanded if you ask me when you can connect on other platforms, outside of the native DB2 driver for free). Or you could use the native Python functionality to use REST-based webservices (Apache/Tomcat come standard, though unconfigured on v5r4, which is what we're running). So there are several options, but not using the ORM, AFAIK. If I'm wrong about that, I'd love to hear it because I could use that as well! :) Thanks!
