You have to many quotes in your code. Your second line creates a string
but does not call the connect function.
You can either use
passwd='test'
connectstring='DSN=test;UID=test;PWD='+passwd
cnxn = pyodbc.connect(connectstring)
if you need the connectstring variable. Or simply
passwd='test'
cnxn=pyodbc.connect("DSN=test;UID=test;PWD="+passwd)
