I have Python 3.2.1 amd64 on Win7 x64 installed
and when I try to install pyodbc-py3-3.0.1-beta01.win32-py3.2.exe it fails with the error that Python 3.2 could not be found in the registry.

The beta version you installed is for 32bit Python, but you installed 64bit Python.  You need a 64bit pyodbc but a download for that is not yet posted.  (I'm waiting on this too).  If you get the source you could trying compiling, otherwise you'll have to wait for a 64 bit download to be posted.

Yes you where right!

I downloaded and compiled the source, installation worked fine too, but now I'm stuck with many errors.
Some are belonging to old Python2 code in the test functions, others are belonging to Unicode decoding like:
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xe4 in position 1: invalid continuation byte

It would be nice to get more information about the string.
