It goes something like this:
conn = win32com.client.Dispatch ( r'ADODB.Connection' )
connString = 'PROVIDER=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;DATA
SOURCE=<path>;'
conn.Open ( connString )
rs = win32com.client.Dispatch ( r'ADODB.Recordset' )
rs.Open ( SQL, conn, 1, 3 )
There's a good web page offering clues about working with ADODB
and Python. (If I could remember where it is I'd even tell you!)
