ImportError with ibm_db > version 3.2.0

[amochin]

The library works fine with ibm_db 3.1.4, but returns an error with ibm_db 3.2.0 and newer - ImportError: DLL load failed while importing ibm_db.

This is a known windows specific issue - ibmdb/python-ibmdb#887

The solution offered by IBM is to manually add the CLI driver path to the list of DLL libs:

import os
os.add_dll_directory('path to clidriver installation until bin')
import ibm_db

Fixed in v.2.0.2.
Although I consider the solution from IBM rather as a workaround, I've implemented it in the Database Library.

If running on Windows and with ibm_db or ibm_db_dbi module, the library determines current installation path of the module, adds clidriver/bin to it and adds the result to list of DLL's using os.add_dll_directory.
