Hi Jonathan,
For the record, in my current setup, I installed python via Homebrew. Prior

Looking at that issue, and suggested fix... I think you're best going with
that route. the stock apple Python is usually pretty bad, and it seems to

Unfortunately, dumping SQL Server (in favor of Oracle) may not be an
option, due to management concerns and other factors. Still working on it.

import pyodbc
import sqlalchemy
from sqlalchemy.engine import reflection
from sqlalchemy.engine.r
