Thanks, Bryan, for the details! Btw, the newest oops in the topic's subject is: the code does not work in the case of:
sqls_host, sqls_port = '192.168.0.8', 1433 proxy_host, proxy_port = '192.168.0.3', 1434 ## proxy_host, proxy_port = '127.0.0.1', 1434 ## proxy_host, proxy_port = '', 1434 I.e. when both Python and vbs script run on one machine (with ip = 192.168.0.3) and SQL Server runs on another (with ip = 192.168.0.8) How namely it does not work: in the idle window only one line is printed: VB_SCRIPT:......... that's all. No errors from Python. After timeout expires I get an error message from VBS (smth like preHandShake() failed; I've never seen it before). I just wonder MUST (or not) it work at all (IN THEORY)? PS: again, without Python vbs and sql server contact with each other PERFECTLY. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
