[storm] Storm and Python 3.x series.

[Vernon Cole]

So, if I offer patches to use adodbapi for the now-supported database
engines (as an option to than the "native" dbapi for each one) would those
patches be considered?

The advantages:
1) Microsoft SQL Server databases could also be supported.
2) No need to install/import multiple api packages in order to read multiple
db engines.
3) Storm could be ported to Python 3.
4) Storm could be ported to IronPython.

The disadvantages:
1) The code for each engine's front end would be a bit more complex (need to
try adodbapi if the preferred import fails.)
2) Adodbapi does not work on Linux -- yet.

Followup question:
  If I make adodbapi run on Linux (would require IronPython and Mono) would
you be more likely to accept the patches?
