Use PythonWin, create an interface for 
Microsoft DAO (your version) with the
makepy utility, and then use COM to access Access.

Something like

import win32com.client
engine=win32com.client.Dispatch("dao.dbengine.35")

Then you can use every method of the database
engine, as you can find in the VBA help file
of your copy of the MS Access distribution.

That's a long awaited feature which I guess will never
be available.
