In order to access these constants you need to do the following:

adolib = win32com.client.gencache.EnsureModule(
	'{00000200-0000-0010-8000-00AA006D2EA4}', # TypeLib GUID for ADO
	win32con.LANG_NEUTRAL, # LCID
	2, # Major version #
	1, # Minor version #
	win32com.client.genpy.GeneratorProgress()) # Silent progress
indicator.
(The above assumes you have the latest MDAC installed, if you don't plesae
pick up the latest bits from 

Then instead of using win32com.client.Dispatch(), you can now do the
following:
	# Create ADO connection object
	db = adolib.Connection()
	# Create ADO recordset object
	rs = adolib.Recordset()
