Yes, you excactly got my point. The thing is that I can't rely on Python 2.5 to be installed soon. So the only solution for me at this moment is to use jython and from there use Java JDBC API (sorry :-) But it would be great if the Python DB API compliant-modules would become parts of core python quickly. Python DB API itself is a great thing. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
