Basically, adodbapi uses COM, and COM and threads require a bit of
care,
apparently.  Your webkit thing may be using a thread to handle stuff.


import pythoncom
pythoncom.CoInitialize()
... code ...
pythoncom.CoUnitialize()


You need to call pythoncom.CoInitialize() once for each thread...
theres
something about sys.coinit_flags = 0 (or 1) that may be nessecary but I

don't know what they mean precisely :)
