We have a chapter in "Python Programming on Win32" about
database access, if you can get hold of a copy. Your
options are the ODBC module which ships with Pythonwin,
or Marc-Andre Lemburg's mxODBC package available at
http://starship.python.net/crew/lemburg/

I suggest you start with the latter as it has the 
best documentation on the Python Database API, and
features to support database dates/times and stored
procs.  If you want some code snippets to get you
started, email me back personally.  I'm in the UK
and can help on the phone if you want to do
something esoteric or get stuck.
