Hi Joey,

thanks for the note. We'll certainly be investigating this to see what  
kind of work is needed to support 1.8. Are you aware of any specific  
issues?

FWIW I will personally be at PyCon in Montreal this week if there are  
things that need discussing, though I must admit that mxODBC is not my  
personal area of expertise!
