its very likely that pyodbc is not compatible with IronPython, as it was designed for usage with cPython.

IronPython certainly has some kind of ODBC (actually, ADO.net seems like where its at) compatibility built into it, but a DBAPI would be the most direct way to get SQLAlchemy working with it.

So here's some MS-specific non-DBAPI example: http://www.ironpython.info/index.php/Accessing_SQL_Server someone talking about DBAPI in 2006: http://hex-dump.blogspot.com/2006/10/ironpython-and-adonet-part-2.html something a little more recent: http://bitbucket.org/jdhardy/adonet-dbapi/

It says something that MS pours however much money into IronPython but zero into a compliant DBAPI driver.
