IronPython, MS SQL, and PEP 249
Over the past week and a half I've spent a little bit of time getting Django 0.96.1 running on IronPython. The 1st step in doing this was getting a database provider that would run on .NET that would work with Django. For DB backends Django basically follows PEP 249 with a few extensions. Here's the basic DB provider I came up with. It's not quite complete but it was good enough for me to get Django's tutorial running. To use this you just need to copy one of the existing DB backends and replace the code in base.py with the code below. For the rest of the code you can pull it from ado_mssql.
Basically this just uses the .NET System.Data namespace to do the communication with the database server.
import clr
clr.AddReference('System.Data')
from System import Data
from System.Data import SqlClient
import System
DatabaseError = Data.DataException
from threading import local
class SqlCursor(object):
arraysize = 1

self.connection = connection
self.transaction = None
self.reader = None
self.record_enum = None
def execute(self, sql, params=()):
parameters = []
# translate to named parameters
if type(params) in (list, tuple):
# indexed params, replace any %s w/ @GeneratedName#
if sql.find('%s') != -1:
cmd = ''
sqlSplit = sql.split('%s')
for text, value, index in zip(sqlSplit, params, range(len(params))):
cmd += text + <'@GeneratedName'> + str(index)
parameters.Add(SqlClient.SqlParameter(<'@GeneratedName'> + str(index), str(value)))
sql = cmd + sqlSplit[-1]
else:
for name, value in params.iteritems():
sql = sql.replace('%(' + name +')s', <'@'> + name)
parameters.Add(SqlClient.SqlParameter(<'@'> + name, str(value)))
command = SqlClient.SqlCommand(sql, self.connection)
for param in parameters: command.Parameters.Add(param)
self.record_enum = None
self.reader = command.ExecuteReader()

self.reader.Close()

x = self.fetchone()

res.append(x)
return res
def _make_record(self, record):
return tuple((self._fix_one_record(record[i]) for i in xrange(record.FieldCount)))

if type(record) is System.DateTime:
return datetime.datetime(record)
return record

Dino: I was "fighting" many months trying to integrate Ipy with Django. That is the difference between a genius and a simpe mortal that I am :-( I suspect you only tried the Django part referred to DB interfaces. is that right? (not the forms or template system, for example). Are you thinking to document your work? I would for example, like to know how did you integrated Ipy with some of the libraries and modules of Cpython that are not yet integrated to IPy and which are used by Django? How did you get the connection to IIS? Thanks!!Anonymous
