Is there a lightweight Windows SDK core? - python

I need to compile the C++ source code of a version of Python DB API for IBM DB2:
I am new to this and according to the readme, I need to first download
Visual C++ 2003 (isnt it a too old version!?),
Platform SDK lastest version (i think its changed to Windows SDK and for I have Win10, i consider to download Windows 10 SDK),
.NET SDK Version 1.1
When I tried to download Win10 SDK, I saw that its 2.4GB!! Too heavy and I won't use it for more than these kind of compilations. Is there a lightweight core of it?
And is this .NET SDK means .NET Framework SDK?

If you need the windows 10 SDK. I recommend you use vs2017. MS's new licensing scheme makes it free for most of us mere mortals. :)
It installs in a bit less time than VS2013. It also includes some tools for python. And comes with the win10 SDK.
And no, MS does not provide any lite SDKs.

Can I query Microsoft SQL Server using pure Python?

I need to query SQL Server from Python in a machine that I don't have admin rights. I can't install drivers in it. I'll query mainly from a Linux machine, but it would be nice if I it can also be used from Windows during development.
I want to make a simple query in MS SQL Server with a Python lib. A lib that doesn't need any driver installed in the Operating System. Is it possible? Everything that I found asks to install the Microsoft driver in the host OS.
A quick search turns up pydts but it's not supported by Microsoft and I have no idea how widely adopted it is or if it's being actively maintained. Here's the GitHub repo.

Sybase ASE Client Tools for Windows and Linux

I am looking for Sybase ASE client tools for Windows and Linux. I am trying to access the database using isql. But in order to use isql in python, one must have the Sybase ASE drivers/client tools installed.
The server my code (python) will be running is Linux, and my development machine is Windows, so I need driver/client tools for both environment
If you go to this SAP download link and search the page for Adaptive Server Enterprise you'll find several links for the ASE SDK.
NOTE: all of the links are for recent versions of the ASE 16.0 product; these should be backward compatible with older versions of ASE (eg, in case you're connecting to ASE 15.7)
Click on the appropriate link, provide the obligatory 'registration' details and you're provided with a copy of the ASE SDK package.
While the page does mention trial downloads, I've never found the ASE SDK to be limited by any licensing requirements.

SDK install procedure in raspberry pi3 for image processing

I want to install SDK for Automatic License Plate Recognition on Raspberry Pi 3.
I have searched with Google but didn't find any instruction on how to install SDK for alpr.
Can anyone please show the procedure to install SDK on Raspberry Pi 3 for Automatic license plate recognition?
On Raspberry Pi 3 there are is no binary distribution for OpenALPR as far as I know. Hence, you need to build the library yourself. The openalpr project README contains fairly detailed build instructions for various platforms - Ubuntu Linux is the closest I'd say. There is also a blog article (Part 1 and Part 2) which describes the build on Raspberry 3 in detail, but part 1 is dated from 2016 and part 2 is dated 2017. So, it may be outdated. Another option may be to use Docker on Raspberry.
Another option is to the OpenALPR Cloud API. This way, the software on the raspberry will perform REST requests to let the cloud service perform the recognition. You can create a free account with a rate limit of 2000 recognitions per month. There is a Node-RED plugin which can be used to realize the REST client and the processing chain. There is a nice A-Z tutorial for getting things setup on Raspberry Pi 3 including all the hardware setup.
It should also be noted there is a commercial version of OpenALPR referred to as Commercial SDK. The documentation also included information how to obtain and install the package.
DTK LPR SDK support Raspberry Pi 3/4.

This SDK have linux arm64/armhf libraries what can be executed on rpi.

Running python script on Microsoft Azure

I'll have a linux machine with a virtual machine installed for Microsoft azure soon. I need to run some data mining/graph analysis algorithms on the azure because I work with big data. I don't want to use azure machine learning stuff. just want to run my own python code. What are the steps? If needed, hoe can I install python libraries on azure?
There is no additional steps to do in comparison to Your own. local server. Linux on Azure is a standard Linux machine. If You are looking for step-by-step hopw to on running Linux VM on Azure, just search on azure.com and You will find it. I think You will not have any problems even without documentation. Azure portal is very simple to use, also CLI tool for Linux, Mac and Windows. You just need to run Linux VM and SSH-in to it. Nothing more. If You need some help, just write here.

How to use python to access server through MS Visual Web Developer 2010 Express?

I'm testing my web server by running it locally through MS VSWD 2010 Express. I need to use python to access a database and add data to it. I was wondering how I can do this. I've tried doing so with packages such as pyodbc and sqlite3 and have had errors when attempting to connect.
I'm specifically wondering if I have to do anything in particular because my server is running through MS VS:WD.
Thanks,
Parth
Running Python on .NET is possible using IronPython:
IronPython is an open-source implementation of the Python programming
language which is tightly integrated with the .NET Framework.
IronPython can use the .NET Framework and Python libraries, and other
.NET languages can use Python code just as easily.
