Python on an IIS server

Hi

Dabbling with the web based tech... and thinking that Python the current band wagon...

But unlike just running it direct, I am running it on my laptiop running IIS server.
Configured the basics to get it going, Python 3.x ...

Reading through the automate the boring site and copying the tests I got it to run and chuck out html / text.

However, I would like to try and connect the python to a database, mysql or ms sql or anything really. But I hit a snag, I cannot seem to get the python to connect to ... anything.

Anyone who happens to know how it can be set up or do I need to uninstall python 3.x and put in 2.7 ?
