Just tried ceODBC the other day (on XP), and it worked like a charm
connecting SqlServer and DB2. Here's SqlServer:
>>> import ceODBC
>>> db=ceODBC.connect('DSN=Wells')
>>> c=db.cursor()
>>> c.execute('select wellname, latitudedecimal, longitudedecimal from
>>> dbo.wells where wellid in (11587,11194,11157)')
>>> for each in c.fetchall():
... print each
...
('GILL #1-18', 33.095599, -92.38563)
('HOW #2-7', 35.10155, -91.48824)
('JKK #11-13', 34.09130, -93.45256)
Simple! Very similar syntax to mxODBC.
