Hello,
I have tried to install the Python Database API Specification v2.0 
module on a linux system and I am having problem with the import command 
after what seems like a installation with out errors.  Here's how I did 
the install:

Ran the build_ext with the following command:
python setup.py build_ext --esql-informixdir=/opt/informix

And got the following output:
running build_ext
/opt/informix/bin/esql -EDHAVE_ESQL9 -EDHAVE_DESCRIBE_INPUT -e 
_informixdb.ec

creating build/lib.linux-i686-2.4
gcc -pthread -shared build/temp.linux-i686-2.4/ext/_informixdb.o

-lcrypt -lifglx -o build/lib.linux-i686-2.4/_informixdb.so

Then ran the install:
python setup.py install

And got this output:
running install
running build
running build_py
running build_ext
running install_lib
copying build/lib.linux-i686-2.4/_informixdb.so -> 
/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages

/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages
byte-compiling /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/informixdb.py to 
informixdb.pyc

So no errors and everything seems okay. When I get into python and try 
to run:
import informixdb
I get this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/informixdb.py", line 146, in ?
    from _informixdb import *
ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/_informixdb.so: undefined 
symbol: sqli_describe_input_stmt

Any help or incite is appreciated,
John
