Feel free to contribute patches. I think I already said that I see no
problem with the Python script being distributed along with Python,
provided its author(s) are willing to contribute it (it would be good
if there was a single dedicated contact for maintaining it, though).

For the odbc references, please contribute patches to take the
references out of the projects. We really don't need odbc in Python.
