Please note that
1) I can type "import odbc" directly into the IDLE shell without
getting an error message,
but only BEFORE I've run a script that tries to import odbc.
2) The same script runs fine under PyWin (which I don't like much as
an environment).

Thanks, but I'm working on some kind of guerilla project of which my
employer doesn't know, so they won't spend any money on a commercial
product.
