When I tried to install ibm_db on Windows 7 using pip of python 3.6, I got an error, no files / directories in ... Temp\... pip-egg-info. however, pip install works fine when I downgrade python to 3.5.3. easy_install or pip3 does not work, either. Anyone has similar experience? If so, can you share the solution that you work around?

Hello Paul,

We currently do not have support for python 3.6.

If you want to give a try, you could try building the source of ibm_db package using:
python setup.py build
python setup.install

Hi Saba - Do we support python 3.6 now. I am unable to install ibm_db.
