dbi is no (AFAIK) a module/package, it's the "official" python API for
playing with databases.
odbc module is available with Mark Hammon's Win32 extensions (search from
http://www.activestate.com)

The best OBDC extension for Python is mxODBC. It's about 90% compliant with
DBI 2.0. It's Windows/Unix portable. And it can play with dates before the
system "epoch".
