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

For others troubleshooting this same generic error, ensure that you didn't accidentally add extraneous characters at the top of your odbc.ini file - which causes it to be invalid and all data-source declarations to be silently ignored (the error giving no indication of the specific problem).
