The question is vacuous. The documentation for a DB-API v2 implementation should never conflict with PEP 249, because that would mean that either the documentation is incorrect or the implementation is not compliant. Of course, PEP 249 is only the mandatory minimum. Implementations may and do implement more functionality than what PEP 249 mandates. In those cases, the implementation documentation is the authoritative source. We'd create a problem if we introduced language into the v3 spec that contradicts existing v2 implementations, because that would force the v2 implementation to be either non-compliant or not backwards compatible. That would not be good, which is why additions to the spec are being discussed this thoroughly. -- Carsten Haese http://informixdb.sourceforge.net _______________________________________________ DB-SIG maillist - DB-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/db-sig
