How can I connect python to a database using sqlalchemy?

I am trying to create the connection to a database named etl_project but for some reason I keep getting a module not found error

ModuleNotFoundError Traceback (most recent call
last) Input In [61], in <cell line: 1>()
—-> 1 engine = create_engine(‘mssql+pyodbc://server/etl_project’)

File :2, in create_engine(url, **kwargs)

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘pyodbc’

>Solution :

I think your virtual environment is missing the pyodbc module. Try installing it with the following command:

pip install pyodbc
