If you were using a version of the SAP DB python extensions built for Python 1.5 (like 
the one in the SAP DB server package), then please try a lib matching your Python 
version:
ftp://ftp.sap.com/pub/sapdb/bin/linux/sapdb-python-linux-i386-7.4.03.33a.tgz.
Python 2.3 changed the way objects are deleted, so extensions compiled for older 
releases are no longer compatible. 

If you are on RedHat 9, then it wasn't possible to use anything but the 1.5 libraries. 
This was because Python on RedHat 9 uses four byte unicode characters whereas the  
rest of the civilized python world uses two byte unicode charaters. The newest archive 
now contains libs for Python 2.2 and 2.3 compiled without Unicode support(*) (which I 
hope to raise to full UCS4 support in one of the next versions).

(*) This means that the driver tries to convert Unicode columns to ASCII
