Question

I have Python 2.7, MySQL 5.5, MySQL ODBC Connector 5.1, and pyodbc all installed on my computer, which is running Windows 7, 64-bit...

Only problem is that everythi

Answer 1

I spend a lot time to find out why pyodbc can't see 64 bit ODBC driver because I confused between bitness of Windows. So I will make it clear that

Python 32 bit + pyodbc 32 bit (default when install from pip) will read driver from %windir%\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe

Python 64 bit + pyodbc 64 bit (you have to download from here) will read driver from %windir%\System32\odbcad32.exe

Answer 2

There is a list of "unofficial" Python modules here

PyODBC is one of those that have been compiled for 64bits.

Also, make sure you're using the correct version of the ODBC Administrator. The default will be for 64bit drivers, but you can use 32bit drivers with %windir%\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe
