I am developing an application for a client that will have data in a MS
SQL Server database. Costs have to be kept down so I have to develop
using the free version of any and all tools I may need. I have the SQL
Server installed, running on Windows XP. I was going to develop the GUI
using wxPython. My only obstacle so far is having Python (wxPython or
just plain Python) connect to the database. Is there a way to use
Python (installed on the same XP server) to connect to SQL Server? I
had read somewhere that Sybase and SQL Server have the same 'roots' and
that using a Sybase driver, can sometimes work when one wants to connect
to a SQL Server instance.
Any ideas?

Steve,
I program in Python against MS SQL Server fairly often, using Mark
Hammond's Win32 extensions for Python.
( http://starship.python.net/crew/mham...Downloads.html) With its
help, you can easily wrap ADO COM objects & access SQL Server. If
you're already familiar with ADO, it's a snap. (Even if you're not, ADO
is a pretty straightforward interface.)

That's have already been done. ;-)

Thanks Max, I didn't realize this was available. I'll give it a try on
my next project.

As far as I know python's threading module models after Java's.
However, I can't find something equivalent to Java's interrupt and
isInterrupted methods, along with InterruptedException.
"somethread.interrupt()" will wake somethread up when it's in
sleeping/waiting state.
Is there any way of doing this with python's thread? I suppose thread
interrupt is a very primitive functionality for stopping a blocked
thread.

And a FreeBSD server where I run my python scripts.
I'm working/making my python scripts in a windows OS with putty now.
But I really want the python text colors and tab spacing like the

Hello
I am trying to send an event from a Python COM server to a VB (or VB.NET)
COM client.
I am a newbie both in VB and in python.
Can anyone give me a simple (but complete) code example both of the Python
server side and the VB client side for raising a single event.
Any answer would be highly appreciated.
Regards
Gary

I want to write a python program and call OS specific commands in it.
So basically, instead of typing in on the command line argument I want
to have it in a python program and let it do the action.
for example. in my program I would want to call the ssh feature like
one does on the command line
ssh Admin@192.168.2.10 .....etc
How can I do this easily ?

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
