I am running informixdb 1.3 and python 1.5.2 C1. I got everything to compile, but watch this: >>> import informixdb >>> conn = informixdb.informixdb('eduportal') Fatal Python error: PyThreadState_Get: no current thread Aborted $ That doesn't get me very far, does it? :) If anyone knows what gives, please let me know. Thanks. Isaac Oates NCSA
