All:

Here is a good opportunity for Ingres developers to have a Python
framework that works for them and eases development time.

Presently, the Web2Py (www.web2py.com) web framework has a large list
of databases communicating via a DAL (Database Abstraction Layer).
The databases that currently work with Web2Py are...

    IBM DB2, Informix, Oracle, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MSSQL, FireBird, and
SQLite

The DAL utilizes any Python database driver that adheres to the API
v2.0 specification via pep-0249.

   http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0249/

Anyone interested in adding the Ingres database to this Python web
framework, this is the project for you.

Thank you for your time and interest.  Hope to see your database
(Ingres) on the list soon.

If DAL is said to work with any DB-API 2.0 (PEP-0249) compatible, it
might be worth trying it with ingresdbi for Python:

Ingresdbi is listed at the Database Interfaces to RDBMS at Python.org:http://wiki.python.org/moin/DatabaseInterfaces

As per Joner's reply IngresDBI is the best bet here. However we do
also have a JDBC driver which works fine with Jython. I know web2py
has prelim support for Jython/JDBC  (I say prelim support as it is
locked into sqlite support).

I'm afraid I don't personally have time right now to work on this but
if anyone is interested I'm happy to answer questions if there are
Ingres or IngresDBI questions. The starting page for the driver ishttp://community.ingres.com/wiki/Ingres_Python_Development_Center

Thank you for your thoughts and input.  I'm not familiar with Ingres
but know the developers atWeb2Pyare very willing to include Ingres
db support in to the project.  For instance, Carsten Haese and myself
worked to bring InformixDb (python adapter) into the project for
Informix support.

Is there an interest in a Python Web Framework that supports Ingres.
Massimo Di Pierro (Web2Pyproject lead) did a great job working other
Db support into the project and it didn't take long for the
implementation to get into the code branch.
