Title:
  error message when installing pyodbc in a venv

Status in python3-defaults package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I have a fresh install of Ubuntu 20.04. I have the following packages
  installed:

  python3-venv
  python3-pip
  python3-wheel
  unixodbc-dev

  If I run these commands:

  python3 -m venv ./test_env
  . ./test_env/bin/activate
  pip3 install pyodbc

  This is the output I get. The package does seem to install
  successfully, in spite of the fact that this is an error, not a
  warning.

  Note that I do not get this error if I install pyodbc outside the
  venv. Also, if I install it outside the venv FIRST, then pip will
  cache the wheel package and use it when installing in the venv, and I
  don't get the above error in that case.
