If #685 is merged, it might be possible to ship some MS SQL drivers with pyodbc to make it work out of the box.

pyODBC is a generic ODBC access layer, it shouldn't be driver-specific.

How can it become driver-specific just by shipping some drivers in a wheel?

There are many ODBC drivers and DBMS, and any licensing issues aside, it would only invite "why not include driver for X / I don't need driver for Y" discussion --- so pyODBC should really remain neutral and you can use it with whatever driver you need.

It could provide extra wheels with drivers. There is no need to do it in main pyodpc wheel. Then this Python dependency could be used in different virtualenv like any other lib in requirements.txt.
