All, This info was very helpful, and I'm up and running with MySQLdb on linux, and the native ODBC support on Windows.
One last question I have: In vbs (specifically with .asp) I can make a connection to an ODBC provide _without_ the need to specify a system DSN in the Control Panel. It's easy to do with MySQLdb.connect( host,user,pass,etc), but is this possible with the ODBC module in Python on win32? Thanks again for all the help. This has really narrowed the gap in my knowledge significantly. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
