If you need a common interface on all the platforms, then I'd suggest
you have a look at our mxODBC:

http://www.egenix.com/products/python/mxODBC/

If you also need to support Windows Mobile, then you'll be interested
in our upcoming new product called "mxODBC Connect" which separates
the client from the server.

mxODBC Connect allows using the mxODBC API on platforms which don't
come with ODBC drivers or where getting ODBC drivers is difficult.
Due to it's client-server approach it also simplifies configuration
a lot.
