Help! How to use Informix in Python?

[trncyng at yahoo.com]

Is there a detailed description of how to use Informix from within
CPython in Unix? I could not figure out how to use informixdb, dbi.py
or mxodbc. Up to this point, Python has been a breeze to use, but the
aforementioned methods require what seemingly convoluted beforehand
steps. I can access Informix from Perl, so any help on using Perl's DBI
within Python would be great, but like I said, I couldn't figure out
how to use dbi.py.

Any help appreciated
Thanks in advance to any kind soul willing to help
