Trouble installing pyodbc. How to point it to vcvarsall.bat?

Question

Python

I'm trying to install pyodbc.
When trying to install, the following error pops up:

error: Microsoft Visual C++ 10.0 is required <Unable to find vcvarsall.bat>

I have VS 2012 installed.
Everyone suggests setting the VS90COMNTOOLS environment variable.
I tried both through the terminal and through the settings, but things are still there.
People, help me, how to solve this?

Answer 1

You need to install and set paths for VS 2008 Express. Modules must be compiled with the same compiler as Python itself, i.e. VS 2008.
