Yes I have installed pyodbc. However when I run this 

import pyodbc
cnxn = pyodbc.connect('DRIVER={SQL 
Server};SERVER=SERVER;DATABASE=NAME;UID=USERNAME;PWD=PASSWORD')
cursor = cnxn.cursor()


I get a login failed.  My username is COMPANYDOMAINNAME\username to get 
access to the database.  The error message it's reporting back is that the 
user COMPANYDOMAINNAME\\username login failed.

It is automatically putting two forward slashes when my username only 
contains one. However it does not automatically put two on the server 
instance SERVER\instance.  Is there any way to force it to only put one 
forward slash?
