You mean, effectively, connect from Python, correct?
*ODBC* for choice.
Driver comes in the Application Package with iACS.

For those of you who are, what method did you use to connect to the IBMi
databases?


Here's my (sanitized) .odbc.ini on my workstation:

[IEXAMPLE]
Description=IBM i Access ODBC Driver
Driver=IBM i Access ODBC Driver
System=iexample.example.com
UserID=jwoehr
Password=foobar2u
Naming=0
DefaultLibraries=QGPL
Database=A1234567
ConnectionType=0
CommitMode=2
ExtendedDynamic=1
DefaultPkgLibrary=QGPL
DefaultPackage=A/DEFAULT(IBM),2,0,1,0,512
AllowDataCompression=1
MaxFieldLength=32
BlockFetch=1
BlockSizeKB=128
ExtendedColInfo=0
LibraryView=ENU
AllowUnsupportedChar=0
ForceTranslation=0
Trace=0

Here's a connect example:

import pyodbc

cn = pyodbc.connect("DSN=IEXAMPLE")
cursor = cn.cursor()
cursor.tables()
rows = cursor.fetchall()
for row in rows:
print(row.table_name)
cursor.close()

cursor = cn.cursor()
try:
cursor.execute("Select * from ICECREAMP") # in default library QGPL
(see odbc.ini above)
rows = cursor.fetchall()
for row in rows:
print(row)
except:
print('cursor.execute("Select * from ICECREAMP") didn''t work.')
finally:
cursor.close()
