I haven't done it in a while, but I remember the whole unixodbc + FreeTDS + pyodbc thing being a little tricky. However, it can be done, and once setup it's not that hard.

This website provides very good instructions: http://www.pauldeden.com/2008/12/how-to-setup-pyodbc-to-connect-to-mssql.html (archived copy on Web Archive)

Also, in my experience pyodbc had issues compiling/running on 64 bit Linux machines. Because of that we eventually used ceODBC. ceODBC isn't quite as stable as pyodbc (encountered more unexpected bugs than in pyodbc when running in python prorgram), but it is very easy to get up and running on Linux 64 bit.
