open source linux -> windows database connectivity?

[Tony Schmidt]

I am trying to read a Pervasive database on a Windows machine from a
Python script on a Linux machine.

I understand that this can be done with a proprietary ODBC-to-ODBC
bridge called mxODBC or Easysoft OOB.

Is there anyway to do this with existing free/ open source tools?

Thanks in advance for any tips.

Note: The client part of this product is free. You only need to

get a license for the server part.

Yeah, but don't I need the server part to make the connection?

Would it be possible to use Jython and the Pervasive JDBC driver for
this?

Woo-hoo! Forget ODBC. Got this working with Jython and JDBC drivers!
