ImportError：没有名为pyodbc的模块

Question

I downloaded the pyodbc module as a zip and installed it manually using the command python setup.py install . Although I can find the folder inside the Python directory which I pasted, while importing I am getting the error:

ImportError: No module named pyodbc

I am trying to use to this to connect with MS SQL Server. Help

As installation error showed, installing Visual C++ 9.0 solves problem because setup.py tries to compile some C++ libraries while installing plugin. I thing Cygwin C++ will also work due to contents of setup.py .
