Hmm.. looks like there has been duplicate work here:

I just released the SolidPython-0.0.7 package which now includes an
Adabas-D interface. You may find the tar.gz file on our FTP server:

<ftp://ftp.gams.at/pub/Solid/Python>

I'm currently adapting the interface to the newer Database API and
plan to integrate the two modules into one, so that a generic ODBC API 
for Unix systems is available. This also means to implement an ODBC
Manager.

Sorry for the very long delay between the releases. I hope I can
manage to be  more responsive to bug fixes and feature wishes in the
future.
