Your project sounds remarkably like one I maintain for a local business, though I have the luxury of working with Python 2.*4* under XP on that project. :-) That said, the differences between 2.3 and 2.4 are pretty minor; decorators being the big difference. For that project, the company uses mx.ODBC http://www.egenix.com/products/python/mxODBC/ which works with 2.4 and might have a 2.3 build available if you dig hard enough. If you main goal is to build a good demo and then promote to newer versions, eGenix might be willing to extend an unsupported older version along with a developer license. I know Marc-Andre Lemburg (of eGenix) lurks here, posting occasionally with new releases of mxODBC, so he might chime in with details. > BTW if my demo will be good, we hope to have an aproval to change > to Python 3.3 I pray all goes well for you, as the constraints of pre-2.5 chafe horribly. :-) -tkc -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
