I know... I'm expecting pain, and when that pain doesn't arrive I assume that I did something wrong.
Actually, I was using the odbc/dbi stuff that ships with the win32 distribution for my windows work, and using MySQLdb for my linux work. Most of the code is the same. But I suppose the big benefit of using MySQLdb on both (which certainly works) is that there is no abiguity as to what the user is running for an OS. You don't have a special case "If you're on Windows, do this; if you're on linux, do that"... Rather, by having everyone indiscriminately require MySQLdb, then that forces a unity. That's probably the way to go, huh? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
