It seems that wxDb (etc) are not supported in wxPython - am I correct or just not looking in the right place?
If this is correct, what are the plans to support wxDb (ODBC stuff) in wxPython.
Appreciate any hints on alternatives.
Best regards
Werner
I think this question showed up once. AFAIK Robin didn't want to support wxDb
since there are a lot of already stable and well supported database
interfaces available in Python. This includes ODBC. Take a look at the
python.org site and go to SIG's. There is a DB SIG (Special Interest Group)
with a bunch of links to interfaces and documentation. Basically you will
find that all major database systems are supported there. With Pythons
generic DB API you even can write code to support different DB's (asuming you
don't use DB specific queries). Because of this there basically is no need
for wxDb - it would just be another database interface that not even adheres
to the python standards.
You will most likely never use wxPython without Python 
Why not use what
python already provides.

It is correct, and I agree that wxDb doesn't required to work with
databases using wxPython.
But what do you say about wxDbGrid?

Yeah, I think that also showed up, with only a few answers. Nobody actually
wrote something like it - however some people would like to have it (me
included). If I remember right someone suggested to do a python only rewrite
using a customized wxGrid. I think the real problem on that idea is how to
put in the database connection without making it depending on a specific
database. One would have to model everything using the DB API 2 and then
hand a connection object to the control. The control then could use plain
basic SQL92 statements to access the data.
On the other hand I'd like to see some "pluggable" handlers for database
access - pretty much like the wxGrid uses now for cell editing. This would be
more objectoriented and consistent with the current implementation of wx.
