What does the traceback say? That exact line would trigger an error much like the one you are seeing, if the object in “connection.connection” is a pyodbc.Connection and doesn’t have a “dbms_ver” attribute.
Note that there are at least 3 packages that could be involved here: pyodbc (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyodbc) ibm_db (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/ibm_db/) ibm_db_sa (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/ibm_db_sa) What versions do you have of each of them? Note that https://github.com/ibmdb/python-ibmdbsa/tree/master/ibm_db_sa says that pyodbc support is experimental.
