I meant to reply to this last week, but forgot.

There is a completely free (in all senses of the word) and open-source
ODBC module for python: It is Brian Zimmer's/Ziclix zxJDBC.

Of course, you're not going to like that either Ben, because it's in
Java and runs under jython.

But it is a free python ODBC library.
