For now, get started in Python 2.7. Write code with an eye to 3.x portability, and you will be fine. You probably won't see 3.x overtake 2.x for at least 3-4 years, and a decent amount of stuff is still 2.x only. Since it sounds like you are a windows/net shop, go ahead and use Iron Python.
SQL Alchemy is your one stop shop. It is basically 3.x compatible, but see my previous statement about 3.x. I haven't used SQL Alchemy with SQL Server but honestly, SQL Alchemy is THE showcase python library -- I doubt you will run into any issues. Just google "sqlalchemy sql server", I'm sure there's a blog post explaining the specifics in detail.
