@Dawny33 @Yanchek99 you should install unixodbc on your system.

#brew install unixodbc

I did install the unixODBC using Homebrew. And I have the Python installed using the Graphic Installer, instead of Homebrew installation of Python.

I don’t know if it is creating the problem, but installing the unixodbc is still throwing the same error after importing pyodbc

I did also tried using brew install python3, but Homebrew version of python do not install the other libraries like Pandas, Numpy, Pyodbc too. So I installed the Python3 graphically and got all the other libraries installed.

I have MacBook Air M1
