Not for Pervasive.SQL unfortunately. In C and Java I have access via a 
native interface, but when it comes to Python/Perl or Jython I'm stuck 
with ODBC or JDBC. My PythonCard applications have either used ODBC via 
the old DBAPI ODBC Python driver, or I've used ctypes to interface to my 
C DLL for native access.
