All:

Here is a good opportunity for Sybase 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, Ingres, 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/

If you are interested in adding Sybase support to a Python web
framework, this is the project for you.

Thank you for your time and interest. Hope to see Sybase on the Web2Py
supported database list soon. :-)

Thank you,

If I understand you correctly and all that's needed is a PEP 249 compliant driver, then that's already available. It is installed as part of SQL Anywhere 11 under %SQLANY11%\SDK\python\sqlanydb.py and
is also available at http://code.google.com/p/sqlanydb .

No, he's looking for someone to write the functions that implement web2py's
database abstraction layer using the sqlanydb driver.
