Mayukh's World - Python and ADO Tutorial

Here are links to the resources I used to learn how to use the Win32com extension library to give Python ODBC capabilites. There are two reasons I would use this over the mxODBC/ADOdb libraries

1. Win32com allows you to use syntax that is extremely similar to classical ADO (before ADO.NET). As a Visual Basic programmer who is familiar with Classical ADO I really like this option.
2. Win32com is free and mxODBC is not!

Here are the resources:
