Support for ODBC for Oracle through Python on solaris

Hi all,
I need to access an Oracle database through a python script using ODBC
drivers(currently i have eval copies of Easysoft and datadirect Oracle
ODBC drivers).
Desired platforms are solaris, linux.

Is there any support in the python to do this or will i have to resort
to a c/c++ program becuase python for UNIX doesn't support this.
any pointers will be appriciated.

Thanks in advance.
Nagendra.

I concur. mxODBC represents a lot of heavy lifting to produce a nice
simple result. It makes SQL through ODBC so simple you can be fooled
into thinking it is a simple thing and not worth the money.

If your database resides on a Windows server, take a look at ODBTP
(http://odbtp.sourceforge.net/) and my Python DB API bindings for it
(http://benjiyork.com/odbtp.html).

If not, and mxODBC doesn't work (which, it should), consider building
your own interface using somthing like ctypes.
