I'm afraid Bob is going to get quite frustrated if he gets upset about 
responses taking more than a few days to come in. While pywin32 has 
moved to github, I honestly don't expect the release cadence, nor the 
amount of time I can offer the project to change from what it has been 
over the last few years.

There's no need to apologize for life getting in the way of maintaining 
free and open source software.

I'm afraid I don't really know what is being asked here. adodbapi has 
been in pywin32 for many years - what changes exactly are being 
proposed? I see mention of IronPython, but I don't understand how 
IronPython components in pywin32 makes sense for either the people 
releasing pywin32 packages (ie, me), nor how IronPython users would take 
advantage of them (ie, I assume asking them to install pywin32 doesn't 
make sense).

Cheers,

Mark
