After a while of looking for how can fix this i think i got it...

On Windows 8.1 64-bits, Python 64-bits, MS Office 32-bits

1. Install AccessDatabaseEngine (because MS Office 32 bits)
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=13255

2. Verify this: Control Panel/Administrative Tools ->
right click on ODBC Data Sources (32-bits) in Target:
%windir%\syswow64\odbcad32.exe
right click on ODBC Data Sources (64-bits) in Target:
%windir%\system32\odbcad32.exe

3. Uninstall Python 64-bits and install Python 32-bits and pypyodbc module

Done, hope this help somebody else...
