See pyodbc - Python Database API Specification v2.0 implementation. Works great.
Additionally you can use it with other databases. If using with SQL Server 2008, make sure you use Native Driver if you need to support new DATE data types.
See pymssql It is a DB-API module for MS Sql Server and would be the most pythonic way. The documentation includes examples.
If on a Windows OS you could also use OLEDB through COM which will not require any thing else to be installed on the client.
Also if you use Iron Python you can use the .Net APIs
