I would like to know if anybody can point me to the site, where it is
possible to find the tutorial "Using Databases in Python" which is
mentioned by Steve Holden here: http://tinyurl.com/ectj8

Thanks

It might be in his book, Python Web Programming, or just go to

http://www.holdenweb.com/

and ask him yourself using the contact form.

He's a generous contributor here.

I have got Steven's book of course (it is excellent IMHO). I was just
thinking some new approaches can be found in the tutorial.

Nah, he's a bozo and his web site is completely wrong (as usual :-).

I produced the PyCon tutorials ("Using Databases in Python" and "An
Introduction to wxPython") under a Creative Commons license, but
unfortunately the task of putting them up on the web site hasn't yet
been nagged to the top of my priority list. Until now :-)

The files are at least temporarily available at

http://www.holdenweb.com/PyConTX2006/dbPythonIntro.odp
http://www.holdenweb.com/PyConTX2006/dbPythonIntro.pdf
http://www.holdenweb.com/PyConTX2006/wxPythonIntro.odp
http://www.holdenweb.com/PyConTX2006/wxPythonIntro.pdf

Unfortunately I am having difficulty downloading anything from that
server at present, even the home page, so you may need to wait a while
before you can download it. Please email me if they don't become
available within 24 hours.

I do teach commercially, but for PyCon I felt that it was appropriate to
make the materials open. Thank Guido for the liberal Python license,
whose spirit guided me in licensing these materials.

regards
Steve

Hmm, time to crawl the site, methinks. Thank you!

Happy to oblige. You did me a favor, as I had promised the students I
would put the notes up on the net. Must remember to include them in the
permanent site build process now :-)
