DB API for ADO/DAO?

[John Burton]

I want to be use an .MDB database from a python application on
windows.

The problem with odbc is that you need to manually set up data sources
using the control panel which isn't something I want the users to have
to do.

So I'm using DAO via com to access the database and it's working fine
except that I have to use the DAO com api instead of the standard
python api. So I was wondering if there is a suitable DB API wrapper
for DAO or ADO I can use? Or a better solution to my problem?
