Can anyone advise the status of the Sql-Alchemy project for Informix?
I am relatively new to Python.  I have worked with Dbi and SQL-Alchemy for postgres and made both of those work.
I have spend many hours trying to make Informix work.  I find the instructions on GitHub for sql-alchemy difficult to follow and I am put off by the comment that says it not yet "ready".
I have made the IfxPy module work and I have also made IfxPyDbi work.  I would be happy to work with IFxPyDbi if the execute method returned a dictionary (like IfxPy.fetch_assoc) but I can only make it return tuples.
Does anyone have any advice about the best approach to start working on a python project with Informix.  What is the best place to start?  Am I on the right track with these modules?  Am I missing something on SQL-Alchemy for Informix?
Any advice would be appreciated.
It should be noted that I’ve found reasonable success using the windows 64-bit informix odbc driver, and pyodbc.
Python 3.8, informix 12.
A bit of advice getting it into a data frame.
pd.DataFrame.from_records() is your friend.
