Running Python script in Azure DevOps pipelines - module not found error
Hello. I have a simple Python script that updates a SQL database and I am running that script in my Azure DevOps release pipeline. I used the classic editor and created a Command Line Script step to...
I was able to get past the error by adding this to my Command Line Script:
pip install -r $(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/my_working_directory/requirements.txt
requirements.txt file just has this:
pyodbc==4.0.35
But now I have a new error when the Python script executes:
pyodbc.InterfaceError: ('IM002', '[IM002] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified (0) (SQLDriverConnect)')
I added the IP address range for Azure DevOps to the Azure SQL firewall rules thinking that was the issue, but that did not help.
I thought it was a common task to use Python in Azure DevOps pipelines and this would work, but I may be wrong in that assumption. Anyone able to assist?
Thanks!

I found that latest issue as well. Driver version 18 is apparently not supported in Azure DevOps agents so I changed it to 17 and it worked. Hope this solution helps someone else that needs to use Python in Azure DevOps pipelines to connect to an Azure SQL database. Maybe my approach was all wrong to begin with, I really don't know, but at least this does work.
