Is PEP 249 at https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0249/ the correct / latest one? While I am new to python, this seems to be written for python 2.* and not python 3.*, or have I missed something? Also, the FAQ says https://wiki.python.org/moin/DbApiCheatSheet is still under construction ... ? And, in https://wiki.python.org/moin/DbApiFaq there is only 1 question. Is this correct, there is only one FAQ? And, http://www.pythonweb.org/projects/snakesql/ seems to be a dead link? If I am interested in python in a database context, is there a particular place I should be looking? Regards. Peter N. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It was written when Python 2 was the current Python version, but still is valid today with Python 3. > Also, the FAQ says?https://wiki.python.org/moin/DbApiCheatSheet?is still under > construction ... ? > > And, in?https://wiki.python.org/moin/DbApiFaq?there is only 1 question.?

There are plenty tutorials on using databases with Python around, both online and in book form. It depends a bit on what you want to do with databases. -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Services directly from the Experts (#1, Mar 30 2021) >>> Python Projects, Coaching and Support ... https://www.egenix.com/ >>> Python Product Development ... https://consulting.egenix.com/ ________________________________________________________________________ ::: We implement business ideas - efficiently in both time and costs ::: eGenix.com Software, Skills and Services GmbH Pastor-Loeh-Str.48 D-40764 Langenfeld, Germany.
