`pip install pyodbc` doesn't work (`--allow-external` is needed) about pyodbc HOT 6 CLOSED

I didn't realize that PyPI actually hosted files. I don't remember it doing so when it first started. (Maybe I just missed it.) Anyway, I've uploaded the sdist and I'll start doing the same for Windows binaries. Thanks for the heads up on this.

Thank you, that's awesome! pip install pyodbc now works, it pulls the current package from PyPI.

On Ubuntu installing the unixodbc-dev package is required though:

$ sudo apt-get install unixodbc-dev

This should be added to the documentation in the project Wiki (Building, FAQs). Looks like the Wiki is now already read-only on Google Code.

BTW, it looks like that package is only needed for compiling, then it can be uninstalled. Is there no way to make the install process not require the installation of a development package? Installing such a package is sometimes difficult to discuss with hosters.

I'll add it to the docs. I don't think there is a way to avoid using unixODBC-dev. Well, it would be possible to provide a few binary uploads, I suppose. I've tried that for Windows.

Regarding the docs, Google is closing Google Code Hosting so everyone has to move off of it. I'm in the process of porting the docs to Github.

I have the same error on macOS Sierra:

python --version
Python 2.7.10

pip --version
pip 6.1.1 from /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages (python 2.7)

pip install pyobjc
Collecting pyobjc
  Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pyobjc (from versions: )
  No matching distribution found for pyobjc

Could you help me, please?
Thanks!

This project is named pyODBC, not pyOBJC.
