Module for Informix Database?

Hello,

does anybody know, if there is a module to connect to an Informix
database? I looked around, but I have seen there only modules for Python
1.x - and this ones do not work with 2.x ;-(

Thanks for any hint!
Jan

AFAIK it's definitely possible to use module 'informixdb'
(http://starship.python.net/crew/sturner/informixdb.html) with
Python2.x (although installing the module for Python 2.x is tricky)!
And it only implements version 1.0 of the DB-API specification. But,
that was good enough for me ;-)

I saw this module - but I didn't manage to compile and/or install it
into Python 2.x. I have made a work around for me a while ago, so I used
isql from Informix to unload the results into a textfile and then read
it with Python. But if there is more than one access at a time this (of
course) leads into trouble..

So if you still know, how you got "informixdb" to work with Python 2.x
please let me know.

Cheers,
Jan
