All I want to do is install pyodbc. I am using python 3.4.4 and I can verify the installation is not correct since running import pyodbc causes the error ImportError: No module named 'pyodbc'. In my /Python/Scripts directory I have tried multiple times running pip install pyodbc which gives Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): pyodbc in c:\python34\ lib\site-packages and after searching I believe that means it has already been installed.

Additionally I tried downloading the .whl file and installing it as pip install pyodbc-4.0.17-cp34-cp34m-win_amd64.whl which gives pyodbc-4.0.17-cp34-cp34m-win_amd64.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform.

What am I not doing that I need to do in order to get it installed properly?

Wild guess based on the wheel message: are you using a 32-bit Python? – John Y Apr 18 '18 at 16:19
Nope, I am using 64 bit as best I can tell based on https://stackoverflow.com/a/1406210/1489990 – ez4nick Apr 18 '18 at 16:52
And you don't have multiple Python installations either? You already tried `python -m pip install pyodbc` (that is, running pip as a module rather than a command)? – John Y Apr 18 '18 at 19:08
What version of pip are you on? – Anupam Apr 19 '18 at 04:06
