Python 2.3 using mx.ODBC v 2.0.7

I am using a python script to connect to MSSQL Server 2003, and am having 
trouble inserting any strings with escaped characters ('\n','\t',etc.)

Any strings with carriage returns or newlines error with:

Error Type: InterfaceError
Error Value: ('HY004', 0, '[unixODBC][FreeTDS][SQL Server]Invalid data type', 
5665)

the important part of the logfile:
