Ethan,
The python script takes the input from Splunk (http://www.splunk.com/
base/Documentation/) which supports only Python 2.6
So the real constraint is Splunk supports only Python 2.6 .

As you know Python 2.6 doesnt support or doesnt have pyodbc install
for Windows  64 bit OS
So i installed Python 2.7 and thereafter pyodbc install for Windows 64
bit OS for Python 2.7
