Hello, I was wondering if anyone is successfully using using Python(2.5)+DB2+pydb2. I get an error in all situations. It seems that this problem might be limited to python 2.5. A quick Google search suggests that with Python 2.5, memory model has become more stringent and mixing various types of memory calls are likely to produce this error. I am not familiar with writing Python C extensions, but from what I can tell, pydb2 extension is using only one type of memory call. Any workaround besides falling back to python 2.4?
It seems pydb2 project isn't very active. I think IBM officially supports only PHP, ruby and perl, does IBM have any plans to support python bindings for DB2?
