Unless you have some specific need that requires writing a native driver for UniVerse, I'd suggest to first have a look at the UniVerse ODBC driver: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/epubs/pdf/25119340.pdf The driver conforms to ODBC 2.0, so should work well with mxODBC which supports drivers having ODBC conformance levels 2.0 - 3.5: http://www.egenix.com/products/python/mxODBC/ Regards, -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Services directly from the Source (#1, Aug 26 2009) >>> Python/Zope Consulting and Support ... http://www.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC.Zope.Database.Adapter ... http://zope.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC, mxDateTime, mxTextTools ... http://python.egenix.com/ ________________________________________________________________________ ::: Try our new mxODBC.Connect Python Database Interface for free ! :::: eGenix.com Software, Skills and Services GmbH Pastor-Loeh-Str.48 D-40764 Langenfeld, Germany.
