Your changing of name tells us of quite how you want to differentiate and make special your specialization.

Glad to see you writing point 4), good luck for the project!

Come on, there’s no guilt in that. ;-P

Instead, there *is* guilt in suffocating red tape. I worked for a big corporation *once*: today I’m not going near anything that has more than 50 employees.

The API team (which currently maintains all the dynamic language APIs for DB2) considers the Django adapter a priority. Due to IBM’s strict rules in terms of open source participation though, the developers can’t simply look at the code of the other adapters (not even the dummy one) and adapt it for DB2. Therefore, in their case, the lack of a public spec, that outlines method by method the requirements for any new Django ORM adapters, is the biggest obstacle. If such a document was freely published on the web (without restrictions), the API team could come up with a Django adapter for CPython and for Jython in a short amount of time. Heck, I wouldn’t mind implementing it myself on my own time and then passing the code onto them if this meant having a Django adapter sooner. But even if I’m not in their team, I’m still an IBMer and as such I have to follow the same rules, therefore I can’t create the specs or look at the other adapters myself. IBM will most likely find a lawyer-friendly way to get the API team a spec, without breaking any internal rules. This may take some time and having the community produce an open source document instead, would probably take much less time and would also be quite beneficial for those who will attempt to write further adapters in the future.

I know you have released a Python DB2 driver which works with SQLAlchemy but is there any chance you and your team will write one for Django?
