I am trying to get the pyodbc module into Deadline for a custom plugin I am using.
Is there any way to do this? I have been unable to find how to get this all into Deadline it keeps saying this is an incompatible module
Hello,
Is that module compatible with Python 2.6? That is the version Deadline runs on.
Yep, have used the 32bit, py2.6 files
Me and Dwight are entering unfamiliar territory here! We’re going to give it a try and if we can’t get it, we’ll pull in the Deadline developers.
We use a number of third party libraries ourselves (Qt and such), but we put them in site packages on each machine.
Alright, lots of fun hacking. Bad news.
It looks like the Python DLL we’re using in Deadline might not have a particular dependency it needs.

So, that’s a problem.
I’ve got a lot of experience using packages like sqlalchemy for doing database stuffs. What DB are you trying to connect to? I’ll see if I can get that working in Deadline.
Well, it imported 
It looks like pure Python, so it’ll work on everything. Give it a go. I’m a big fan.

Thanks 
I am trying to connect to a Microsoft Access database - it has caused me some issues 
I will try this and see if it works, thanks!
Hey,
Just let us know how that goes, I don’t think I have heard of someone trying to tie Deadline into an access db before.
Cheers,
Ended up having no success and had to go to a subprocess to get info out of it.
Hi,
Just going back to the original request for a second. Could you describe what information you are trying to get/set to/from our DB?
There might be an alternative which would allow you to talk to Deadline in an environment that is more native to your existing Microsoft DB?
Could you describe your current mechanism/IDE/environment to communicating to your own Microsoft DB you use?
