We dropped MS SQL Server in favour of PostgreSQL.
Thus, I do no longer have the pieces available.
And it is a long time ago that I accessed MS SQL Server via Sybase-Python
over freeTDS.

I believe to remember that I found the Python-Sybase adapter via
a search on "comp.lang.python" (or its "db-sig") and that
Zope.org has had an ancient DA for Sybase (anciency is not a problem,
as nothing changed in this area).
