Yes, I ran into a similar problem recently, trying to access a remote 
DataFLEX db (with an ODBC add on) from Linux.  If you search the how-tos 
carefully, there IS documentation on how to patch one of the DAs to work with 
mxODBC, a python ODBC interface.

I have built this product, and it appears to work, but I as yet have not 
really tested it.

If you want the post-patched product, I can tar it up for  you, and e-mail it 
directly.
