Re: [Pythoncard-users] PythonCard on Mac

[Aaron S. <az...@bu...>]

I can report that Python and Leopard work great together. I have done  
plenty of work on it since January, and I'm pleased. Also wxWindows  
and PythonCard work well on Leopard.

The only area that I've been disappointed in the Mac-Python mix is  
with respect to database libraries. There's a fine one for MacPython  
library for MySQL, but to get to any other (Oracle, SQL Server  
especially) was a royal pain in the tuchus. I ended up writing a  
Python wrapper around JDBC, and then I have Python spark up a JVM and  
use the JDBC libraries to talk to the databases. And since some of my  
code runs on Linux, this worked well for that as well.
