Hi list,
Sorry for all the emails. I've determined that my script is actually
connecting to the 400's test database. At least, a print statement
placed just after the create_engine call is printing, so I guess we're
good there.

What I'm running into now is unresponsiveness when I try to reflect or
automap the database so I can do some basic queries. As soon as I call
either
automap.prepare(dbEngine, reflect=True)
or
metadata = MetaData()
metadata.reflect(dbEngine, only=['tableName'])

the script stops, hanging there with no response at all. The same
thing happened when I was trying to use an inspector on the engine.
It's an AS400, so taking a few seconds is a very long time for it.
This is being left to run for minutes and isn't doing anything. What,
if anything did I do wrong syntactically? Is there a better way to
check that my engine is actually ready to go, or some other check I
should be making? The full script, minus anything sensitive, is below.

import globals
import logging
from sqlalchemy import *
from sqlalchemy.engine import reflection
from sqlalchemy.ext.automap import automap_base
from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import declarative_base
from sqlalchemy.orm import sessionmaker

logger = logging.getLogger(globals.appName+"."+__name__)

#set up the sqlalchemy objects
logger.debug("Creating database engine, base, and session.")
dbEngine = 
create_engine("ibm_db_sa://"+user+":"+pwd+"@"+server+":"+port+"/"+dbName)
print "connected"
Session = sessionmaker(bind = dbEngine) #note that's a capital s on Session
session = Session() #lowercase s
metadata = MetaData()
logger.debug("Creating session.")
print "Creating automap base"
base = automap_base()
print "setting up automapping"
#base.prepare(dbEngine, reflect=True)
metadata.reflect(dbEngine, only=['tableName'])

def getOrderByNumber(orderID):
 orders = base.classes.ORHED
 order = session.query(orders).filter(orders.OAORNO==orderID).first()
 print order.OAORNO
#end def getOrderByNumber

getOrderByNumber("AA111")
