I am trying to use this with Python 3.8, though pip install ibm_db  (even tried pipenv install ibm_db) work fine, on import ibm_db in py file, it gives an error "ImportError: DLL load failed while importing ibm_db: The specified module could not be found." I just happened to see an old 3.7 install, where it had site-packates/ibm_db_dlls folder with ibm_db.dll inside, but this folder doesn't get created with Python 3.8. I believe the 3.0.1 is not yet compatible with Py3.8. I just now opened one of the READMEs, and read this: "The minimum python version supported by driver is python 2.7 and the latest version supported is python 3.7 except version 3.3 as it has reached end-of-life." Is there anything I can do to make it run with Py3.8?
