I am using python 3.3.0 .. Within this package C:\Python34\Scripts is my pip and I have added this path to my system and user environment variable PATH the link to this pip folder,I have installed Visual C++ 2010 but i don't know what needs to be done once it is installed if or not i need to configure something, yet when I do :

C:\Python33\Scripts>pip install https://pyodbc.googlecode.com/files/pyodbc-3.0.7.zip

It gives me the following error:

This is what stackoverflow editor has changed it to :

Fatal error in launcher: Unable to create process using
'"C:\Python33\python.exe "  "C:\Python33\Scripts\pip.exe" install
https://pyodbc.googlecode.com/files/pyo dbc-3.0.7.zip'

C:\Python33\Scripts>pip 
Fatal error in launcher: Unable to create process using
'"C:\Python33\python.exe " "C:\Python33\Scripts\pip.exe" '

And this is the actual error that i see at console:

ValueError: ['path']

----------------------------------------
Command "C:\Python33\python.EXE -c "import setuptools, tokenize;__file__='c

\users\elyon\appdata\local\temp\pip-inh3nq-build\setup.py';exec(compi e(getattr(tokenize, 'open', open)(file).read().replace('\r\n', '\n'), __fil __, 'exec'))" install --record c:\users\elyon\appdata\local\temp\pip-x45j1j- ecord\install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed --compile" failed ith error code 1 in c:\users\elyon\appdata\local\temp\pip-inh3nq-build

  • The accepted answer in the potential duplicate is a workaround, take a look at this [answer](http://stackoverflow.com/a/24627797/366335) for an actual fix if a space-containing path is indeed your problem. – Bryan Jan 20 '15 at 13:45
  • The suggestions would only be relevant **if** the install path (current *or* original) contained spaces. What did you get back from the `python -m pip install pyodbc` execution? – Bryan Jan 20 '15 at 14:49
  • Hi Bryan .I have edited the question above to include what error i actually see on console..meanwhile i tried what you said......C:\Users\elyon>python -m pip install pyodbc ................ Collecting pyodbc Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement pyodbc Some externally hosted files were ignored as access to them may be unreliable (use --allow-external pyodbc to allow). No distributions at all found for pyodbc – elyon Jan 20 '15 at 14:50
  • Important clause in the message...`Some externally hosted files were ignored as access to them may be unreliable (use --allow-external pyodbc to allow).` What happens when you run with the `--allow-external` switch? – Bryan Jan 20 '15 at 14:51
  • hi bryan ...is this what you wanted me to try : python -m pip install --allow-external pyodbc ? i tried this :C:\Users\elyon>python pip install --allow-external pyodbc C:\Python33\python.exe: can't find '__main__' module in 'pip' ..... – elyon Jan 20 '15 at 14:57
  • There also seems to be some confusion with python versions...your question mentions python 3.4, but the error message references python 3.3. Make sure you've got the correct version referenced in your path. – Bryan Jan 20 '15 at 14:57
  • i have updated the question ..i switched over to python 3.3 but did'nt update the question ..can i join you in the chat room as this problem is taking a lot of time so if you could just walk me though it ,would be very helpful – elyon Jan 20 '15 at 15:03

Since you're on Windows with Python 3.3, the easiest way to install pyodbc is to use the provided installers.

You should then be able to manage future upgrades using pip if you so desire.

C:\Python33\Scripts> .\pip.exe install --upgrade --allow-external pyodbc --allow-unverified pyodbc pyodbc

Requirement already up-to-date: pyodbc in c:\python33\lib\site-packages
