What is "the comercial version of Python"?

Commercial releases of Python, of which I know of at least 12, are tailored
to connect Python to most major databases, including the following:

- MS Access
- MS SQL Server and
- Oracle
- MYSQL
- IBM DG2
- Informix
- etc.

on all major platforms, using a Python DB-API 2.0 standard compatible
interface.

The best of them IMHO is mxODBC (Open Database Connectivity) but don't be
misled by the title; the source code is NOT available

In addition, most of the commercial releases, whilst having drivers for M$
products, usually lag behind with other OS's like Linux, BSD, MacOS, Palm,
Nokia etc.

So unless you're writing code for a living, especially databases, you're
probably just as well served with the Linux version of Python, of which
version 3.01 (3.1 alpha 1) has just been released.

Happy coding.

That's not a version of Python, it's an extension to Python.

So unless you're writing code for a living, especially databases, you're
probably just as well served with the Linux version of Python, of which
version 3.01 (3.1 alpha 1) has just been released.

I'm sorry, this is making less and less sense. There is no such thing as
"the Linux version of Python".

Ruff made perfect sense to me, I suppose you could apply a Java-like
interpretation of his phrasing and therefore not understand him.

If you actually read that page, you'll see that it isn't offering a
Linux version of Python, never mind *the* Linux version (and that's
because, as I pointed out, there isn't such a thing).

Python is available as source code. Binary releases are also available
for Mac OS X and Windows. Most Linux distributions include Python or
offer a binary package.

I'm still interested in this mysterious "commercial version" of Python.

I should imagine it's a reference to commercial implementation. You are
a bit of a grump.

This began with someone's saying: "The commercial version of python is a
lot faster than the free version".

I'm not even aware that any non-free versions of Python exist. The "free
version" of Python isn't a "free version" of Python. It's Python.

You are a bit of a grump.

That's true.

All I was implying earlier, was that I can extract the general gist
of Ruff's writings perfectly. I accept that a person such as a Java
programmer with a bad case of Asperger's syndrome might take exception
to such writing and erupt in a paroxysmal frenzy of nitpicking.

The word paroxysm means sudden fit or outburst.
