I have a question on how to use pip: I just installed a package using `pip install pyodbc`. This downloads a precompiled version of pyodbc for my platform (macOS 10.12) and Python version (3.6), but unfortunately it does not work:
The reason is that the installed package contains a file site-packages/pyodbc.cpython-36m-darwin.so, which has a hard-coded dependency to /usr/local/opt/unixodbc/lib/libodbc.2.dylib (see below to check for yourself). Unfortunately, while libodbc is installed, it is not installed at that location on my computer. In fact, /usr/local/opt/ is a fairly uncommon path. My questions: 1. Is there a way to tell pip to change the dependency paths for downloaded library? If so, how? 2. If not, is the recommended workaround to compile it myself (`pip install pyodbc --no-binary :all:`)? 3. Does pip support the concept of packages with binary code which depend on other (non-Python) libraries? If not, shouldn't these (likely) broken packages be removed from https://pypi.python.org/packages/? Regards, Freek PS: A quick check confirms that the path is hard-coded: % wget https://pypi.python.org/packages/4d/4c/f6f708b0d55cc325116ff21ddaeb9161c5fe5046ddbdc00922da90363874/pyodbc-4.0.21-cp36-cp36m-macosx_10_6_intel.whl % unzip pyodbc-4.0.21-cp36-cp36m-macosx_10_6_intel.whl % otool -L pyodbc.cpython-36m-darwin.so pyodbc.cpython-36m-darwin.so: /usr/local/opt/unixodbc/lib/libodbc.2.dylib (compatibility version 3.0.0, current version 3.0.0) /usr/lib/libstdc++.6.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current version 104.1.0) /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1252.0.0) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "virtualenv" group.
