Well, I did C back in 1900's, so my skills are a bit rusty.  I did find this:

http://oltp-platform.cvs.sourceforge.net/oltp-platform/OLTPP/services/PythonScript/PythonTranslate.h?view=markup
http://oltp-platform.cvs.sourceforge.net/oltp-platform/OLTPP/scripts/TestZipCodes.py?view=markup

    12     a,b,c = ZipCode.Get()
    13     print "Zip code is ", a
    14     print "State is ", b
    15     print "City is ", c

Which might be what I need, but I am having trouble grasping what to grasp.  I 
haven't figured out how it 'connects' or 'opens' or knows where the data is.
