Looking for Python 3.3 64 bit egg file for ibm_db

[Ganesh Radhakrishnan]

I have installed python 3.3 64 bit in Windows 7 64 bit machine. I would like to connect to db2 which is in a remote server but I was unable to find 64 bit egg file for ibm_db in the website. Is there an alternate location for downloading the same.

Regards,

Ganesh.

Hi Ganesh,
 Currently 64-bit window build ibm_db egg  for Python-3.3.x is not available. Official version of Python-3.3.x is build with Visual Studio 2010 so, you need VS2010 on your machine for building ibm_db.

To build ibm_db from source for python-3.3 64 bit follow following steps
1) download ibm_db source code from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/ibm_db/ and extract it
2) Edit setup.py and modify line # 60 to "library = ['db2cli64']"
2) Open Windows SDK-7.1 CMD Shell and issue "setenv /x64 /release"
3) Issue command "set IBM_DB_HOME=<path to SQLLIB or IBM DATA SERVER DRIVER>"
4) Go to the ibm_db directory
5) Issue command "python setup.py build" to build ibm_db
6) Issue command "python setup.py install" to install ibm_db extension

In case of any issue please let me know.

Thanks,
Rahul

Hi Ganesh,
 Now 64-bit window build egg of Python-3.3.x is available at https://pypi.python.org/pypi/ibm_db and http://code.google.com/p/ibm-db/downloads/list. You can use it directly.

Thanks,

Hi Rahul,

I know its a very ignorant question, but i simply dont know what exactly "path_to-sqllib" mean.. i mean for IBM_DB_HOME=<path_to_sqllib> which path i must define, is it a lib path in my Windows, or the library in the DB2 (in AS400 DB2 everything is in library format).. if its the lib path in my Windows environment, where exactly is defined as the "sqllib"? 

Thank you,

Gulsum
