Re: [python-win32] survey question: should data from database columns of type adGUID be returned as instances of class uuid?

Dropping 2.4 was mentioned, but only in the context if it used vc6. (It's build with VC7.) Roger Vernon D.

FWIW, the most recent build of pywin32 has had less 2.4 downloads (15) than 2.3 (23), so dropping 2.4 can certainly be done as soon as there is some concrete advantage. [hrm - but those download figures are suspect - I'm guessing sourceforge has recently reset them - but I think 2.4 is as dead as 2.3 is for most people] Mark On 16/04/2013 2:26 AM, Roger Upole wrote: Dropping 2.4 was mentioned, but only in the context if it used vc6.

Aside from the well known benefits of dropping a python version that is two versions behind the security patches only release, cleaner code with the try..except..finally and with changes, and also the ability of Vernon to use the uuid object in adodbapi.

Keeping in mind that I have zero experience with adodbapi and that most of my development experience has been more Linux-based (with a fair amount of general DB work), this certainly falls into the kind of behavior that I think would make using a framework easier, so +1 unless someone has a specific objection. -- Aahz (a...@pythoncraft.com) * http://www.pythoncraft.com/ In times like these, it helps to recall that there have always been times like these. --Paul Harvey ___ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
