connect to FileMaker Server with pyodbc - pyodbc

Question

I have a FileMaker db running on FileMaker Server 14 on a Mac Mini and I'm trying to get at it with pyodbc. It's not going well.
First, what works:
telnet 192.169.19.3 2399
ssh Name#192.169.19.3
tsql -H FM-Server -p 2399 -U Name -P pwd
One weird thing about that last one is that it gives me a seconds counter:
1
2
not a prompt, although I can still type commands in. I'm not sure what that means and couldn't find any info about it.
Now, what doesn't work:
tsql -LH 192.169.19.3
tsql -LH FM-Server
isql FM-Server Name pwd
No listed info for the FileMaker Server, isql gives me [ISQL]ERROR: Could not SQLConnect which is just so helpful you know
One issue is that at this point I've sort of forgotten if I should be using FM ODBC or FreeTDS as my driver in pyodbc, luckily neither of them work:
>>> c = pyodbc.connect("DRIVER={FreeTDS};DSN=FM-Server;UID=Name;PWD=pwd")
pyodbc.Error: ('08001', '[08001] [unixODBC][FreeTDS][SQL Server]Unable to connect to data source (0) (SQLDriverConnect)')
>>> c = pyodbc.connect("DRIVER={FileMaker ODBC};DSN=FM-Server;UID=Name;PWD=pwd")
pyodbc.Error: ('08S01', '[08S01] [unixODBC][FileMaker][FileMaker ODBC] Failed to connect to listener (2) (65535) (SQLDriverConnect)')
Giving it just the DSN freezes the window. Here's my configs:
odbc.ini | /usr/local/Cellar/unixodbc/2.3.4/etc/odbc.ini
[FM-Server]
Driver = FreeTDS
Host = 192.169.19.3
ServerName = FM-Server
UID = Name
PWD = pwd
Port = 2399
odbcinst.ini | /usr/local/Cellar/unixodbc/2.3.4/etc/odbcinst.ini
[ODBC Drivers]
FileMaker ODBC = Installed
FreeTDS = Installed
[FileMaker ODBC]
Driver = /Library/ODBC/FileMaker ODBC.bundle/Contents/MacOS/fmodbc.so
Setup =
[FreeTDS]
Description = FreeTDS
Driver = /usr/local/Cellar/freetds/1.00.9/lib/libtdsodbc.0.so
Setup = /usr/local/Cellar/freetds/1.00.9/lib/libtdsodbc.0.so
UsageCount = 1
freetds.conf | /usr/local/Cellar/freetds/1.00.9/etc/freetds.conf
[FM-Server]
host = 192.169.19.3
port = 2399
tds version = 8.0
Any info is much appreciated and shout to the resources here, here, and elsewhere for helping me get even this far.

Answer 1

I was able to solve this with the following, slightly abbreviated
brew uninstall freeDTS
brew uninstall unixODBC
pip uninstall pyodbc
re-installed pyodbc with ActualTech's installer (not sure if necessary): http://www.actualtech.com/python-osx-odbc.php
switched my odbc.ini to read "Driver=FileMaker ODBC" instead of "Driver=freeTDS" but given the code I actually ran I'm not that that's necessary:
python
import pyodbc
c = pyodbc.connect("DRIVER={FileMaker ODBC};SERVER=192.169.19.3;PORT=2399;UID=Name;PWD=pwd")
and magically that worked. idk man
