Python & ODBC problems

[Istar]

I'm not sure if this relates to your problem, but I couldn't connect to an
ODBC data source from Zope.  I found that the problem was that I'd created
the data source as a "User DSN" .  As a "System DSN" (the second tab in the
ODBC dialog), my data source was accessible.
