Do you have an idea in mind when effort on the new spec might be happening ? If I can find the time I'd want to contribute a compliance suite, and/or update the old one (since I'd like DBAPI 3 to be a lot more specific about some things). _______________________________________________ DB-SIG maillist - DB-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/db-sig
