Well thank you all... that's all very helpful (apart from the brief
diversion into MySQL, but even that was instructive!).

Your comments about "setup.py" prompted me to read the pytz README.txt
a bit more carefully and there it says to run "python setup.py
install". And this copies stuff into site-packages. So it's all
starting to come together and make a bit more sense to me, hurrah!

There's no README.txt with MSSQL, and "python setup.py install" gave me
a compilation error:
"c:\Python24\MSSQL-0.09\mssqldb.h(16) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open
include file: 'sqlfront.h'". I suspect I'm missing some MS SQL Server
developer stuff.

Copying the files myself to site-packages didn't work either: there's
only a mssqldb.pyd file, no .py or .pyc file. And as you pointed out,
there's no 2.4 folder so I'm a bit worried about compatibility.

So I abandoned this library and decided to try another SQL Server
library instead. I tried pymssql and it came with a Windows installer
so I didn't need to run setup.py, which meant I didn't need the MS SQL
Server developer stuff. Worked First Time!

To conclude: I've got all the answers I needed and have acquired some
useful understanding... thank you very much indeed!
