I worked for OpenLink, and although I didn't do work on the DB2 driver myself 
I know that the DB2 ODBC driver is very close to a no-op, because DB2's 
interface is very similar (inherited from X/Open SQL Access Group CLI, ,the 
inspiration for ODBC as well). If paying OpenLink is a problem (I cannot 
comment on the quality of their product, I left almost two years ago) I think 
that converting Python or Zope's ODBC backend to DB2 would be fairly trivial, 
especially because you're not likely to use the more funky stuff like 
scrollable cursors and other ODBC 3.0 "goodies" from Zope.
