With the source version of pyodbc (2.1.11), at a system shell prompt (either Windows cmd.exe or a Unix-like bash):
> python setup.py --help
running build
running build_ext
...

Why is setup.py attempting to build the module? I only requested help!

This has been fixed in version 3.0.x.

It was actually trying to build the 'pyodbcconfig' helper module, but this was a failed experiment I've now removed.  Sorry for the confusion.
