GraphDB JDBC - from python?

I'm trying to setup a way to execute SQL queries on GraphDB pre-configured JDBC tables. I got it to work using a SQL engine like SQuirrel SQL Client, but so far I have not been successful in Python. I tried using the python package jaydebeapi, but I'm getting an error that my class GraphDB localhost is not found.

Does anybody have experience with using this python package - especially in combination with Ontotext GraphDB, or alternatives, and can give some tips in the right direction?

import jaydebeapi

# JDBC connection details
jdbc_url = "jdbc:graphdb:url=http://localhost:7200"
driver_class = "com.ontotext.graphdb.jdbc.remote.Driver"
driver_jar = "C:/Users/franken/Desktop/squirrelSQL/plugins/graphdb-jdbc-remote-10.0.0.jar"  # Replace with the path to your GraphDB JDBC driver jar file
alias_name = "GraphDB localhost"

# SQL query to execute
sql_query = "SELECT * FROM GRAPHDB.IMAGINGBACKUPS.SOFTWARE" 

# Establish connection
with jaydebeapi.connect(jclassname=alias_name, url=jdbc_url, driver_args=None, jars=driver_jar, libs=None) as conn:
    with conn.cursor() as curs:
        curs.execute(sql_query)
        curs.fetchall()

Error I receive:

Note, I get a similar, but not exactly the same error 'java.lang.java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/commons/logging/LogFactory' error when I change the jclassname to driver_class.
