Here's a quick-start guide for installing mxODBC on Windows:
1. visit:
http://www.egenix.com/files/python/eGenix-mx-Extensions.html#Download-mxBASE
and download the egenix-mx-base package for your Python version,
e.g. http://www.egenix.com/files/python/egenix-mx-base-2.0.5.win32-py2.3.exe
2. scroll down to:
http://www.egenix.com/files/python/eGenix-mx-Extensions.html#Download-mxCOMMERCIAL
and download the egenix-mx-commercial package for your Python version,
e.g. http://www.egenix.com/files/python/egenix-mx-commercial-2.0.6.win32-py2.3.exe
3. Install the two packages by clicking on the EXEs (first the egenix-mx-base
package, then the egenix-mx-commercial package). An installer will
start that will guide you through the rest of the installation.
4. Open a Python command line, e.g IDLE
5. Test the installation by entering the following commands at the prompt:
>>> from mx.ODBC.Windows import DataSources
>>> print DataSources()
This should give you a list of available ODBC data sources registered
with your Windows ODBC manager.
The full mxODBC documentation is available at:
http://www.egenix.com/files/python/mxODBC.html
Please note that mxODBC is free to use for non-commercial user only.
Hope that helps,
