Time. Effort. That sort of thing. Parameter binding for MySQLdb is in the works for 2.0, and I may actually have a co-developer to work on it. However, not all MySQL SQL statements can be used with the prepared statements API, or so says the documentation, which complicates things, so in some cases it is necessary to fall back to doing parameter substitution on the client side. -- This message has been scanned for memes and dangerous content by MindScanner, and is believed to be unclean. _______________________________________________ DB-SIG maillist - DB-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/db-sig
