An ODBC interface for Python 3?
A quick web search yielded no current support for the ODBC interface for Python 3. I'd like to get a simple "tracer bullet" up and running ASAP.

Multidimensional Fitting
I want to fit an n-dimensional distribution with an n-dimensional gaussian. So far i have managed to do this in 2d (see below). I am not sure how to convert this to work in n-dimensions.
