hello,

can you pls clarify what is the meaning of :
"It appears that this dependency is being satisfied by running inside of 
python.exe (which is linked against the same)"

I tried running an interactive python in 'cmd', in emacs, in cygwin and in win 
powershell. pyodbc won't import in any of these. not sure if they qualify as 
'embedded python' which is the topic in the reference.
kind regards

I read the error wrong in your first post.  Did you install from a binary or 
did you compile pyodbc yourself?

i installed from the binary for 2.6. everything goes smooth without
error messages.
will try  with a newer version of python. maybe it's just 2.6

Good deal. I'm not sure, glad it's working though.

constanine.bond: Are you saying the installer "goes smooth" or that things are 
now working?
