Why do I get "case mismatch for module name ODBC" errors when using mxODBC?

Steve Holden, mxODBC documentation

If you have installed the Windows extentions from the Win32
package developed by Mark Hammond, sometimes confusions arises
between the Win32 odbc.pyd file, usually found in <python>\Lib\Win32,
and the mxODBC distribution, usually found at <python>\Lib\ODBC.
The simplest fix is to rename the odbc.pyd file to Win32odbc.pyd,
although the installation notes for mxODBC do mention a couple of
other approaches.
With recent Pythons there is less chance of confusion as the mxODBC 
package is now imported as mx.ODBC.<platform>, so no conflict occurs.
