"Error while downloading clidriver from the following URL : https://public.dhe.ibm.com/ibmdl/export/pub/software/data/db2/drivers/odbc_cli/ntx64_odbc_cli.zip"

Most outside url's are blocked by our company security policy. So we need a pre-built wheel for Python 3.13.

Hello @Houbein,

Thank you for your message.

At the moment, the ibm_db package does not present any issues with Python 3.13. We are, however, working on updates to the library, including the preparation of a pre-built wheel specifically for Python 3.13. Once these improvements are finalized, we will release a new version that includes this support.

We appreciate your patience and will notify you once the new version is available.

Thank you
