It does not. It returns None, thus the following error you see.

According to the docs on the (very old and seemingly not actively 
developed adodb-site), "odbc" needs the Python windows extensions. As 
you are on redheat, I have difficulties believing you make these work.

Maybe mxodbc works? Or even better, ditch that ado-stuff and connect 
directly to your database. Python's DB-API is better I guess, no need 
for this attempt at mimicking windows APIs.
