When I print conn_str out it does not have the double quotes, But I was able to solve this by doing this: pyodbc.connect('DRIVER=' + RECIPE_DB['DRIVER'] + ';' + 'SERVER=' + RECIPE_DB['SERVER'] + ';' + 'PORT=' + RECIPE_DB['PORT'] + ';' + 'DATABASE=' + RECIPE_DB['DATABASE'] + ';' + 'UID=' + RECIPE_DB['USER'] + ';' + 'PWD=' + RECIPE_DB['PASSWORD'] + ';') ' Thanks. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
