RE: Extensions for Python2.2 ?

You can download ftp://ftp.sap.com/pub/sapdb/bin/linux/sapdb-python-linux-i386-7.4.03.12a.tgz, this contains the extensions for several Python versions (1.5.2 - 2.3a). Make sure that you don't unpack it over the existing installation: the module sapdb.sql tries to load the extension from the subdirectory pythondef first and this directory contains the 1.5.2 version.

I'm currently working on a version where I can build all the versions with one make call, thus making it easier to distribute all the versions with the standard SAP DB package.

Once, I used the python extensions for some scripts used internally. And because I couldn't rely on everyone installing a recent version of the python extensions, I distributed the binaries as part of the tools. That's why they appear in this archive.

If you want to build the extensions from the sources: the scripts to setup the devtools and sources will ask you for the location of the Python header files, so you will build the extensions for whatever Python version is installed on your computer.
