How to pass variable as an argument to be used in a function?
#2
something within following lines:

def updateSent(msg_id):
    with pyodbc.connect('UID='+dbUser+';PWD='+dbPassword+';DSN='+dbHost) as cnxn: # I assume user, password and host will have fixed, real values
        cursor = cnxn.cursor()
        update_stmt = "UPDATE WKM_sms_outbound SET status='sent' WHERE msg_id=?"
        row_count = cursor.execute(update_stmt, msg_id).rowcount
    cnxn.close()
    return row_count # this way your function will return number of affected rows
take a close look at pyodbc docs:
https://github.com/mkleehammer/pyodbc/wiki
at least for Connection and Cursor objects.

Check also the connection string depending on your database
