adodbapi update - where to post?

I am presently working on an update to Henrik Ekelund's
adodbapi package.

For those who don't know, adodbapi is a python DB API 2.0
interface 
using Microsoft ADO. It is an alternative to the ODBC module
which ships 
with python-win32 and is better in some ways, particularly
in that it 
does not require defining a DSN in order to access data.  I
have used it 
now with MS-SQL, Access, MySQL, and AS-400 DB2. 

I have applied all of the patches I can find, and am
altering it to use 
decimal data (pythoncom.__future_currency__ = True) and
updating the 
unit test. I am also tracking down a new bug which seems to
have arrived 
with Python 2.5 which causes it to store only the first
character of a 
string into a database field. (Most annoying... I have had
to leave all 
my users running older versions of Python.)

  Henrik seems to have disappeared from the Internet and no
maintenance 
of the adodbapi site on soureceforge has happened in several
years. 
Question for this group:
  Should I attempt to take over the project on sourceforge,
or should 
adodbapi be added to python-win as part of its library?

Good news. Can I suggest -- in case the relevant people
don't track this list -- that you post also to the
sqlalchemy list. There's a fair bit of activity over
there at the moment concerning the use of different
MSSQL dialects. The recent pyodbc module seems to be
the favoured contender at present, but adodbapi is
still supported and I think they'd be interested in
the news.

FWIW, I'd be inclined to announce publicly as you've
done, and then to take over the sf project if that's
straightforward. If not, start a new one with a distinct
name but with an obvious indication of its provenance.

Well, the db-sig list could also be ok, especially since I
asked about 
these patches there and got no answer. I don't know about
taking over SF 
projects, but most likely the author still reads emails, so
he could add 
somebody else to maintain the project.

Hi!


>From Python+PyWin32, when I want access to properties
(attributes) 
containing some characters no-Ascii (e.g. letters with
accents, or unicode 
characters), Python screech!

I need this in bridges Python-Javascript (via
ActiveScripting or via drive 
InternetExplorer.Application).
When I control the Javascript side, I make a little function
who return (a 
pointer on) the object ; if the attribute is an object.

But, if you know a way for access to these kind of
attributes, I will read 
your answer, with mental thanks.

This is great - we have our own internal version of an ADO
DBAPI-2
Python library that we use internally and tried to release
at some stage
(around the same time as adodbapi) but to little interest so
haven't
kept up a public version. I tried to look at merging it with
adodbapi at
one point but got a bit swamped...
