Can I make a DSN-less connection using pyodbc and mdbtools?

Question

I've tried the following:

>>> import pyodbc

>>> cnxn = pyodbc.connect(Driver="MDB", database="SohabeD51.mdb")
pyodbc.Error: ('08001', '[08001] [unixODBC]Could not find DSN in
                connect string (1) (SQLDriverConnectW)')

Connecting to a database using a DSN entry works fine, but I'd like to supply a database in the code.

Here's what you need: http://code.google.com/p/pyodbc/wiki/ConnectionStrings

Answer 2

No. Mdbtools 0.5 don't support this.
