pyodbc -> MS-SQL Server Named Instance ?
by Adam Tauno Williams July 3, 2019

July 3, 2019

I am trying to connect to a Named Instance on an MS-SQL server using pyODBC. The ODBC driver works, as I can connection without issue to a non- named-instance SQL-Server used by another application. What is the DSN (connection) string magick to connect to a named instance? I can connect from my JDBC client (DbVisualizer) by specifying the instance name and port 1434. -- Adam Tauno Williams <mailto:awilliam@whitemice.org> GPG D95ED383 OpenGroupware Developer <http://www.opengroupware.us/>

[RELEASE] Python 3.7.4rc2 is now available for testing
by Ned Deily July 2, 2019

July 2, 2019

Python 3.7.4rc2 is now available. 3.7.4rc2 is the second release preview of the next maintenance release of Python 3.7, the latest feature release of Python. Assuming no further critical problems are found prior to 2019-07-08, no code changes are planned between this release candidate and the final release. The release candidate is intended to give you the opportunity to test the new security and bug fixes in 3.7.4. Because of the small number of changes between rc1, the original release preview, and rc2, we are planning on an abbreviated exposure cycle so we can get the final release to you as soon as possible. We strongly encourage you to test your projects and report issues found to https://bugs.python.org/ as soon as possible. Please keep in mind that this is a preview release and, thus, is not recommended for production environments. You can find the release files, a link to the changelog, and more information here: https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-374rc2/ -- Ned Deily nad(a)python.org -- []

[RELEASE] Python 3.6.9 security-fix release is now available
by Ned Deily July 2, 2019

July 2, 2019

Python 3.6.9 is now available. 3.6.9 is the first security-only-fix release of Python 3.6. Python 3.6 has now entered the security fix phase of its life cycle. Only security-related issues are accepted and addressed during this phase. We plan to provide security fixes for Python 3.6 as needed through 2021, five years following its initial release. Security fix releases are produced periodically as needed and only provided in source code form; binary installers are not provided. We urge you to consider upgrading to the latest release of Python 3.7, the current fully-supported version. You can find the release files, a link to the changelog, and more information here: https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-369/ https://www.python.org/downloads/ -- Ned Deily nad(a)python.org -- []

Re: Looking for tips and gotchas for working with Python 3.5 zipapp feature

I am exactly in the "pretty advanced usage": I want to create a zip that embed numpy. In this case, I have to bundle the C extension. How can I do that? Thx, Simon
