There is no ODBC module in the software you mentioned above.
You need the windows extensions. Either you install ActivePython
instead of standard Python, or (simpler now that you already installed)
you download and install Mark Hammond's Win32all package from
http://starship.python.net/crew/mhammond/win32/Downloads.html

There is another option for ODBC, and that is the mxODBC
package, but that's not free for commercial use. And you
might find a lot of other useful things in win32all in
addition to the ODBC module.
