On Linux, you typically only have one of the two popular ODBC
managers iODBC and unixODBC installed.

Consequently, mxODBC will only find one of them and raise an ImportError
for the other.

You only have an installation problem if both mx.ODBC.iODBC and
mx.ODBC.unixODBC fail to import.

Regarding the installation location defaults: you can change the
location of the installation using the --prefix option of
the "install" command:

python setup.py install --prefix=/usr

should install everything under the system Python installation
path on your system.

If you want to test this prior to running the real installation,
you should use a temporary directory as target, e.g.

python setup.py install --prefix=/tmp/usr

This is a regression that was introduced in mxODBC 3.0.2 due to some
refactoring we've done. It will be fixed in version 3.0.3 which is due
to be released this week.
