python + access + odbc + linux

| I understand that access can be accessed through an ODBC driver under
| windows (instead of Jet).

| I am wondering if the same can be done under Linux.

You need to look at the mdbtools packages

http://mdbtools.sourceforge.net/

which includes a Jet-ODBC driver which can be used under
Linux via iODBC or UnixODBC and mxODBC on the Python side. 
At least in theory: I had only qualified success, and 
eventually gave up. But it was clear from the mailing 
lists that other people had succeeded.
