Hi! How have you started the script? As far as I could see, in the Chapter 1 of "Dive into Python", the odbchelper.py is just a script-File and not a module to be imported, therefore the Exception with the "ImportError".
I do not have a Windows box here to check if the problem is with the PythonIDE. Testing with idle ( the python ide ) under solaris and putting the source-Code from Chapter 1 into the buffer, saving it and just starting with "F5" = "Run Module" just gives the string. Otherwise under unix just start "python odbchelper.py" on the commandline.
