Another option is adodbapi, which in my experience is much faster than mx.ODBC. You can find it at http://adodbapi.sourceforge.net , and it is Windows-only. There's also http://pymssql.sourceforge.net, which is cross-platform using FreeTDS and unixodbc on *nix. I haven't any experience with it, though.
