PyODBC : can't open the driver even if it exists

Question

I\'m new to the linux world and I want to query a Microsoft SQL Server from Python. I used it on Windows and it was perfectly fine but in Linux it\'s quite painful.

Answer 1

I found an answer that works for me here. This is for python 2.7 (so may not work for those who are looking for a solution for python 3.x).

The suggested solution is to update libgcc: 4.8.5-2 --> 5.2.0-0

For updating libgcc, use this command

conda update libgcc
