But... this kind of stuff is already there.. There's mxODBC for
starter, plus a few native drivers. I use python for all kinds of
stuff, but mostly for web-based frontends to databases. The DB-API is
standardized and works just fine. If you want a higher level of
abstraction, you can do that too.. I built an object-relational
mapper on top of it and it works just fine too.

And if you're on microsoft, you can also just use ADO.. Python
supports COM..

There really is no problem here..

Cheers,
