pip3 install pyodbc yield "unable to execute 'x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc'"

Currently trying to get a python script to import pyodbc or pymssql and both yield the same issue.

Using lambci/lambda:python3.6, both pyodbc and pymssql give the same error:

Same goes for pip3 install pyodbc in the dockerfile

If you're trying to install or build anything, you should be using the lambci/lambda:build-python3.6 image. The normal images are for running Lambdas, not installing/building on them.

@mhart Thanks. Came from the 21Buttons/pychromeless repo which is based on lambci/lambda:python3.6
build-python3.6 does work for building but it ultimately fails when running.

Ok, thanks for the update, sounds like it's an issue with that repo
