Issues with pyodbc installation in venv python 3.10

[myamullaciencia]

I have these environment and i would like to install pyodbc to work with accdb and mdb files.

• Python: 3.10
• OS: windows 10 64bit

I have created a virtual environment venv where i 'm trying to install the pyodbc as

python -m pip install pyodbc

Here it gives an error as:

Collecting pyodbc

  Preparing metadata (setup.py) ... done
Using legacy 'setup.py install' for pyodbc, since package 'wheel' is not installed.

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

note: This is an issue with the package mentioned above, not pip.
hint: See above for output from the failure.

I have verified that MS Visual C++ is already installed and but it is still giving an error.

could you please help me out to solve this on priority ?

Are these unofficial wheels as a workaround (https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pyodbc)) safer ? any other work around ? and when can we expect this to be support python 3.10?

[myamullaciencia]

if my python downgrades to 3.7 would this be worked out ?

Yes, there are Windows wheels for Python 3.7 on PyPI.

Are you sure you're using Python 3.7 ? Those paths say 3.8.
