ANNOUNCE: - New Release of IBM_DB (2.0.0)

[Rahul]

A major release 2.0.0 of ibm_db driver and ibm_db_dbi wrapper is available now. Now Driver and Wrapper is is enhanced to support Python-3 and Python-2 both.
Since setuptools doesn't support python 3 so, to install the ibm_db Python egg component in python 3 use distribute(http://packages.python.org/distribute/) but for python 2 you can still use setuptool.

  - New Feature - Added Python-3.x support for driver and wrapper (defect #243457)
