Yes, support became available for Python 2 and Python 3 last summer. Came
out in Technology Refreshes. They still have a long way to go getting more
packages supported, but base support is there. They also have a local
dbapi connector to connect to a DB2/400 database which is what I'm trying
to connect to with the DAL.
I don't know where to begin modifying an adapter, looking for help.
