Working with Cursors

Searched the web and this forum without satisfaction. Using Python 2.7 and pyODBC on Windows XP I can get the code below to run and generate two cursors from two different databases without problems. Ideally, I'd then like to join these result cursors thusly:
SELECT a.state, sum(b.Sales) FROM cust_curs a INNER JOIN fin_curs b ON a.Cust_id = b.Cust_id GROUP BY a.state
Is there a way to join cursors using SQL statements in python or pyODBC? Would I need to store these cursors in a common DB (SQLite3?) to accomplish this? Is there a pure python data handling approach that would generate this summary from these two cursors?
Thanks for your consideration.
Working code:
import pyodbc
#
# DB2 Financial Data Cursor
#
cnxn = pyodbc.connect('DSN=DB2_Fin;UID=;PWD=')
fin_curs = cnxn.cursor()
fin_curs.execute("""SELECT Cust_id, sum(Sales) as Sales
FROM Finance.Sales_Tbl
GROUP BY Cust_id""")
#
# Oracle Customer Data Cursor
#
cnxn = pyodbc.connect('DSN=Ora_Cust;UID=;PWD=')
cust_curs = cnxn.cursor()
cust_curs.execute("""SELECT Distinct Cust_id, gender, address, state
FROM Customers.Cust_Data""")
