Mike: Thank you for your long explanation. I got lost somewhere in the middle there, though.
If you are suggesting that better documentation be added to PEP-249, then perhaps you could include a suggestion as to a (brief) note which could be appended. If you are suggesting that the PEP be expanded to provide a service not now generally available, then perhaps you ought to start the long-talked-about-but-never-tried task of writing a DBAPI level 3 PEP. The present PEP (written long before Python 3) is lacking (and in at least one case, actually wrong) any specific Python 3 implementation details. Several enhancements and improvements to the PEP have been talked about, most of which -- like the one you seem to be making -- would significantly enhance a programmer's experience. There are also several "standard extensions" and frequently added extras which could be included in the body of a new PEP. _______________________________________________ DB-SIG maillist - DB-SIG@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/db-sig
