This looks more like a problem of Distutils trying to expand DISK1 and 
COMMON from the environment, rather than a problem of DBUtils.

But instead of running setup.py you can also simply copy the DBUtils 
directory into the Webware directory.

I don't know any reason why DBUtils should not work on OpenVMS, but then 
I also don't know OpenVMS very well and never tried it there.

Thanks again.  I will try it and see what happens. 
Does the Webware for Python and DBUtils need to be the same version?

No, the version numbers are independent of each other.
