Since its so complicated for SQL 2000, couldn't you just cheat a bit
and do some in SQL and some in Python?
SELECT TOP limit+offset FROM table ...
and then in the backend:
return cursor.fetchall()[offset:]
(OK, I know its more complicated than that, but you get the idea).
That's typically the way I've seen paging done with SQL 2k in the past.
