Are you using an old version of ESRI software, or are they shipping a product with an ancient version of Python? You can't really expect that third party product will support Python 2.1 any longer. A lot of new software take advantage of the new features in Python that came in later versions. Current Python versions are also a bit faster. If I were you, I'd check with ESRI support if you can't use a newer version of Python. I think it's possible. Concerning mxODBC, you might want to have a second look at it. I don't know your business context of course, but if I understand correctly, it can be used for free for inhouse use, and if that doesn't apply to your situation, a licence might well be worth its price. If this is something you will distribute to customers, I suspect you can make a deal with eGenix and get a better price than the normal site license. (It's a while since I looked at their pricing, so I don't know if I'm making sense...) Anyway, I think the best option would be to get a newer Python installed if that's reasonable, but I realize that might cause some extra work if your code is to run on a lot of machines... -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
