[python-win32] Fwd: Re: Python 3.4: adodbapi.connect(..) crashes

[Vernon D. Cole]

Just updating eveyone...

There is something weird going on with Python 3.4 and Windows 8.  Roger
Upole is working on it.

Meanwhile, after numerous remove-and-try-again passes, I have Python 3.4(64
bit) and pywin32 running on my new Windows 8.1 development machine. My
current development version of adodbapi (on the hg repository at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/adodbapi<http://sourceforge.net/p/adodbapi/code/ci/default/tree/>)
is passing tests with ACCESS and SQL Server databases.

Do not give up hope.
