From: "M.-A. Lemburg" <mal@lemburg.com> Subject: ANN: Python Database API Specification 2.0 Date: Mon, 12 Apr 1999 22:00:23 GMT The Python Database SIG is proud to announce a new revision of the database interface specification for Python: *** Python Database API Specification 2.0 *** The new version of the specification fixes some important short comings of the old 1.0 version. Most notably, the dbi abstraction module was folded into the interface module and new abstract data type constructors were added. You can find the version 2.0a15 document on the DB-SIG web-site at www.python.org (this URL will become the official citation URL for the specification): http://www.python.org/topics/database/DatabaseAPI-2.0.html Until the above page is updated, you can find the final 2.0 version on Starship: http://starship.skyport.net/~lemburg/DatabaseAPI-2.0.html Here are a few more links that should be of interest if you intend to do database related work with Python: The DB-SIG homepage: http://www.python.org/sigs/db-sig/ The Database Topic Guide: http://www.python.org/topics/database/ The old version 1.0 of the specification: http://www.python.org/topics/database/DatabaseAPI-1.0.html We hope that this long needed update will be welcomed by the Python database community.
