Pyodbc - “Data source name not found, and no default driver specified”

Question

I have trouble getting pyodbc work. I have unixodbc , unixodbc-dev, odbc-postgresql, pyodbc packages install

Answer 1

I believe the answer to your problem is that in your ~/.odbc.ini file you are saying to use driver PostgreSQL - but you have not defined that driver in your /etc/odbcinst.ini file. Try changing PostgreSQL to PostgreSQL ANSI or PostgreSQL Unicode (both of which are defined in /etc/odbcinst.ini).
