Hello,
I needed Python 3 support so I started working with SWIG, by making an i
file around zdbpp.h. Unfortunately, some changes are needed and some
interfaces seem hard to support. PreparedStatement::setString is
particularly hard as SWIG temporarily converts the Python's Unicode string
to UTF8, so the PreparedStatement object should copy the resulting string
instead of just keeping it. By example, in MySQL, _setString from
MysqlPreparedStatement.c keeps the pointer: P->bind[i].buffer = (char*)x; .
That pointer won't be valid when the execute() is finally called.
Is SWIG support something interesting for you? By no means I am not a SWIG
expert, but could I propagate these changes in a separate branch or
something ? How can I avoid starting just another lonely private fork ?
I appreciate this project for its code rigor and up-to-date maintenance.
Thank you,
Liviu
