I think Tim's last suggestion is the way to go, and you should NOT need
ACCESS installed.
Microsoft invented ODBC.
Everybody saw it was a great idea and adopted it.
So Microsoft had to invent something even newer, which everybody else does
not support. That's called ADO. ADO defaults to ODBC
If you run out of other options, I've successfully used comtypes on top
of the ctypes module included in Python 2.5 2.6 to read write data
in Access 2003 databases.

Dear Pythoners,
I need to access data in an MS Access 2003 database using Python 2.5 or 2.6
running in Windows7. Windows7 doesn't seem to have appropriate drivers for
ODBC. My error messages consistently contain the phrase, Data source name
not found and no default driver specified.
