To be able to install wheel files with a simple doubleclick on them you can do one the following:
1) Run two commands in command line under administrator privileges:
assoc .whl=pythonwheel ftype pythonwheel=cmd /c pip.exe install "%1" ^& pause
2) Alternatively, they can be copied into a wheel.bat file and executed with 'Run as administrator' checkbox in the properties.
PS pip.exe is assumed to be in the PATH.
Update:
(1) Those can be combined in one line:
assoc .whl=pythonwheel& ftype pythonwheel=cmd /c pip.exe install -U "%1" ^& pause
(2) Syntax for .bat files is slightly different:
assoc .whl=pythonwheel& ftype pythonwheel=cmd /c pip.exe install -U "%%1" ^& pause
Also its output can be made more verbose:
@assoc .whl=pythonwheel|| echo Run me with administrator rights! && pause && exit 1 @ftype pythonwheel=cmd /c pip.exe install -U "%%1" ^& pause || echo Installation error && pause && exit 1 @echo Installation successfull & pause

I wrote a tutorial here of how to do this.
Essentially, you need to:
brew install unixodbc brew install freetds --with-unixodbc Add the freetds driver to odbcinst.ini Add a DSN (Domain Source Name) to odbc.ini named "MY_DSN" pip install pyodbc e = create_engine("mssql+pyodbc://username:password@MY_DSN")
The walkthrough here does a much more thorough job of explaining this, including issues with SQL Server/FreeTDS Protocol Version Compatibility.
