"Document Management Software" is a little vague. What do you want it to do? In general though, when someone says "content management" and "Python", the general response is Zope, usually with Plone on top. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Giles, you keep mentioning syntax errors as the (/a) cause of the problem. I suggest you avoid such problems, so that the import sethook approach, et al. will actually work. The easiest thing to do is to run PyChecker on your script prior to executing it. PyChecker will catch your syntax errors

Reasonable enough. As per Mike's suggestion below, building a few web pages to document the apps is a good start. To expand on that idea, you could write daemons/cron jobs, perhaps in Python if Python runs on OS/400, that monitor each app's status and log that information to the web server. You

As Konstantin alludes, your request is not specified clearly enough. In all-caps you write "APPLICATION MONITORING SYSTEM", yet your only use-case is "it lets the it employee enter the name of the application and gives him all the details about it", where "the details are ...

There don't seem to be too many directly available settings in ODBC Administrator, but there seem to be some spots for inserting settings directly into a command line, so I'll need to dig up the Sybase documentation on what's possible. > > Regards, > -- > Marc-Andre Lemburg > eGenix.com Thank you very much for your patience and insight.

I switched around the order, both in the actual application and in my tests as replied to Francois Lepoutre above. Results were consistent, after the first run of any given test, which unsurprisingly took a bit longer. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

:) Knock away, as my info isn't scientific anyway. In my case, ASA is *not* local. The db is running on a 500MHz x 2 server with 768MB RAM, over 100BaseT connection. That same server is also running the MSSQL instance, and IIS. Running your benchmark, I ran into a couple of interesting points.

Another option is adodbapi, which in my experience is much faster than mx.ODBC. You can find it at http://adodbapi.sourceforge.net , and it is Windows-only. There's also http://pymssql.sourceforge.net, which is cross-platform using FreeTDS and unixodbc on *nix. I haven't any experience with it,

If you have three different implementations, and can read all three of them well enough to understand the code, use all three. If you are going to port software from one language to another, and want to reimplement it properly in your target language, you won't be porting word-for-word anyway. So
