CodePudding user response：

This seems to be a known issue with pyodbc. In the github issue, the author says "You don't have the required ODBC header files on your machine."

For Ubuntu, he suggests sudo apt install unixodbc-dev, which I think would also work on Kali Linux.

CodePudding user response：

Its probably, cause you installed multiple version of python interpreters, as you said yourself, and pip is not know to which python interpreter to install to. try this:

python3 -m pip install

python -m pip install
