DeprecationWarning: BaseException.message has been deprecated as of Python 2.6

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi All,
The message below is shown every time an exception is thrown.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Just make the module to throw an exception

>>> import ibm_db_dbi
>>> dbh = ibm_db_dbi.connect("db2")
>>> cur = dbh.cursor()
>>> cur.execute('blahblah')
/usr/local/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/ibm_db-1.0.5-py2.6-linux-x86_64.egg/ibm

I am able to reproduce this issue, older version of Python-2.6 doesn't have 
deprecated this.

If you want then I will provide the patch for this issue.

In our Next release we will remove this issue.

Hi Rahul,
I workaround the issue by filtering the warning so I can wait for next
release. BTW: do you have an estimated date for the next release?
Another thing worth noting is that I did not see this issue on python 2.7.

This issue have been fixed in Python-2.6.3 and newer, so with newer version of 
Python-2.6 you will not get this Deprecated Waring.
