Summary: win32.odbc failure - description not set

Initial Comment:
# _grief.py
# This little program crashes Windows 95 at line 12.
# It should expire more gracefully.
import odbc, os, sys
dsn= 'Stocks//'    # Works OK, note that null UID and password must be
                    # supplied for Paradox
try:
  print 'dsn= ', dsn
  s = odbc.odbc(dsn) # dsn is defined in BDE Configurator
  
  cur = s.cursor()
  print cur.description
except:
  print 'grief:', sys.exc_info()
print s, cur
print 'done'

Two things:
1. win32 is not supported by the Python-Dev team; it's an ActiveState extension, so support requests should go 
there.
2. cur.description is only available *after* you have executed at least one statement on the cursor.
