Hello Robert,

These modules are distributed as part of the PyWin32 Python for Windows
 extensions, so they need to run on a Windows box.  They'll run fine 
there regardless of the deprecation of dbi (though "import dbi" will 
provide a useful warning message).

Pyodbc is a possible alternative.

Cheers,

Kev
