安装pyodbc的Python Spyder 2.2.5错误

Question

When I type import pyodbc in my Spyder screen i get below error. Any suggestions? How to install package pyodbc for Spyder

>>> runfile('C:/Users/myname/Documents/Python Scripts/co2nm.py', wdir=r'C:/Users/myname/Documents/Python Scripts')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "C:\Users\myname\AppData\Local\Continuum\Anaconda\lib\site-packages\spyderlib\widgets\externalshell\sitecustomize.py", line 540, in runfile
    execfile(filename, namespace)
  File "C:/Users/myname/Documents/Python Scripts/co2nm.py", line 7, in <module>
    import pyodbc 
ImportError: No module named pyodbc

I was able to use other packages though such as

import networkx as nx 
import os.path as path 
import datetime as dt

Answer 1

( Spyder dev here ) Spyder is not able to install packages by itself but it can use any package installed on the same Python version it is running on.

I sincerely recommend you to use the Anaconda Python Distribution because it not only comes with Spyder and all its dependencies but you can also install pyodbc quite easily with it, by running this command on a terminal:

conda install pyodbc

Answer 2

As the error message states, you don't have pyodbc installed, which is required for whatever you're trying to do. I would suggest you install it, from you path I assume you're on windows. There are pretty great windows instructions for installation of pyodbc here:

Let me know if you have any questions.
