Installation guide

mxODBC - Python ODBC Database Interface
2.3.4 Uninstall
Since setuptools doesn't provide an uninstall command you have to manually
remove the installation:
1. remove the egenix-mxodbc.* egg directory from your Python site-
packages/ directory and
2. edit the file easy-install.pth in that directory to remove the corresponding
egg entry.
2.4 Installation using prebuilt package
archives
Prebuilt package archives are standard distutils source distribution packages,
which have been built on the respective platforms without performing the
installation step. The source parts are also removed from those packages.
You can think of the prebuilt packages as source package installations that were
frozen just before running the install command.
When installing these , you just need to run the last step after unpacking the
package: the distutils
install command.
No additional software is needed to install these packages.
