 If you download the latest Python and Win32 from
http://www.python.org/download/download_windows.html it should be fine.
You'll want to write "import dbi, odbc" though.

 Now for my problems.

 I've got an Access database accessed by Python scripts under CGI. However,
sometimes, calls to odbc.odbc(dsn) hang up and never return. (Eventually the
web server times out and kills the process.) This seems to happen randomly,
but increasingly. Does anyone have any idea why? A fault with the odbc
module, or Access, or what?
