The 'ctsybasemodule' apparently resides at the following URL:

  http://starship.python.net/crew/pgodman/

Whilst 'ctsybasemodule' is rather nice, I found it insufficient for my purposes
(no "bind variables" in SQL statements) and decided on mxODBC instead:

  http://starship.python.net/crew/lemburg/mxODBC.html

If you decide to pursue that option, I would suggest looking at my ODBC
resources page:

I managed to get mxODBC working with Adaptive Server Anywhere and Adaptive
Server Enterprise, but with the recent announcement of zxJDBC you could use
JPython and Sybase's jConnect software instead:

  http://www.jpython.org
