However, you can use the MinGW compiler. I installed the 5.1.3 (from SourceForge) and build the driver with the commands:

python setup.py build –compiler=mingw32
python setup.py install –skip-build

Will also need eggs and binaries for standard platforms, since I NEVER count on any software I have to compile myself (eggs help make the compilation process pretty seamless…); sorry, but my tech support guys are not C programmers, and don’t know what the hell a header file is, so when the compilation fails (always when you need the software the most), they can’t fix it without having to call little old me.

Too bad it wasn’t mature enough for the DB2 9.5 release. 🙁

Now .. about sqlalchemy.. 😉

2. Will windows binaries be provided?
