Easiest way to connect to the database with Python by far. Connects to

*LOCAL database using currently running user profile.

I thought this already worked in PTFs currently available?

PTFs are coming your way soon (should be available externally within a

days):

SI61963 (Python 3)
SI61964 (Python 2)

These PTFs also correct issues when retrieving data from timestamp

on IBM i 7.2+ that do not have 6 digits of precision (doesn't matter

it's more or fewer digits, just that it's not 6) and ibm_db version
updated to 2.0.5.5.
