The Python-Win package comes with an ODBC interface. I've used that with
success with MS Access. There's also a seperate package called mxODBC.

This URL contains useful information:

http://www.python.org/windows/OdbcHints.html

For more about talking to databases from Python look here:

The PythonWin version of ODBC is at least DB-API 1 compliant, I think the
mxODBC one is DB-API 2 compliant.

Good luck!
