Aha, so I'm not the only one to consider forking ADODBAPI! :-) I, too, submitted some fixes to the mailing list long ago and never got a reply, and it's increasingly cumbersome to say "Requires ADODBAPI v2.0.1 with this patch and that patch and...."
Has anyone forked it already? If I don't hear anything within a week, I'm going to set up a Trac environment myself. I won't replace the mailing list immediately, since Sourceforge's works fine and I don't especially want to become a mail admin. I do look forward, though, to rolling the accumulated patches into an up-to-date release and having a central place to ticket what remains. Any objectors? Regards, Erik Rose P.S. In response to the long-ago bottom poster, I think there are more preferable ways to talk to MS SQL from Python than through ADO: FreeTDS, for instance, which is cross-platform and less flakey than ADO. However, for applications like mine which absolutely need ADO- driven access, ADODBAPI seems the most mature solution. > I think a re-do may be going a little far, but the source is there, > and > it is easy to modify.
