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 solve this problem after installing libssl1.0.0.

First, I setup my connection string in this way:

    cnxn = pyodbc.connect('DRIVER={/usr/local/lib/libmsodbcsql.13.dylib};   
    SERVER=myServerIP,1433;DATABASE=myDBName;UID=sa;PWD=dbPassword')

Then, I installed libssl1.0.0:

    echo "deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security jessie/updates main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
    apt-get install libssl1.0.0

Finnaly, I setup the locales:

    apt-get -y install locales 
    echo "en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8" > /etc/locale.gen 

After doing these steps, my python module was able to find and connect to database.
