the first platform-independent python db module to allow access to a
microsoft SQL 2000 database has been released.

it is based on andy dustman's MySQLdb module, so is close to the DB 2.0
API.

this project can be found at http://sourceforge.net/projects/pyxsqmll.

this project is one of those interesting necessities that "does the job
for me".  hence, the version number of the current release, despite being
based on MySQLdb 0.3.0, is ramped down to 0.0.

requirements:

py-xml 0.6.2 or greater (0.6.2 confirmed working and 0.6.4 confirmed
working).

python 2.0 (confirmed working - lower versions not tested).

Microsoft's SQL 2000 server

Microsoft's IIS server with the SQL-2000 XML plug-in installed.


have fun, enjoy python, it's utterly cool.
