Thanks, I will check with the author. I assume License file for sandbox warns against use of experimental, untested code but it still allows one to use it at his own risk :) Regarding contributing patches; I am not very much sure about what scenarios should be tested, that is exactly what I tried to ask in my post that I referred to here. Anyways, if someone guides me as to what should be tested, I will be more than happy to contribute. I am not sure though, whether Laxdb, which has completely different api, can be added as patch to existing adbapi. -- vishal _______________________________________________ Twisted-Python mailing list Twisted-Python@twistedmatrix.com http://twistedmatrix.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twisted-python
