Description

I see you have pyodbc with unixodbc but in order to actually use pyodbc with things like sqlalchemy the actual odbc driver from Microsoft is required. In my experience nothing appeared in the /etc/odbcinist.ini file until I followed the instructions here. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/connect/odbc/linux-mac/installing-the-microsoft-odbc-driver-for-sql-server?view=sql-server-ver15

Research direction

Start by inspecting the pyodbc directory and its packaging or build configuration, then follow the linked Microsoft ODBC driver installation instructions. Done means the Microsoft ODBC driver is included in the AWS Lambda-compatible package and the resulting installation provides the expected ODBC configuration for pyodbc and SQLAlchemy.
