pyodbc encoding issue

I have (what appears to be) an encoding issue using pyodbc -- Perl works without issue and is using the same ODBC drivers. 
---------------------------------------------------------------------
python code:

import pyodbc
pyodbc.pooling = False
conn = pyodbc.connect('DSN=tera01;', password=pw)

cursor = conn.cursor()
cursor.tables()
rows = cursor.fetchall()

print(row[0].table_name) # Encoding??
扁牯䱴獩却獥楳湯

print(row[0].table_name.encode('utf_16_le'))
b'AbortListSession'

conn.execute("SELECT DISTINCT column FROM table;").fetchall()
Error: ('HY000', '[HY000] [unixODBC][Driver Manager]Driver returned SQL_ERROR or SQL_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO but no error reporting API found (0) (SQLExecDirectW)')
--------------------------------------------------------------------
It appears pyodbc is connecting because I can fetch table names, however, the table names are not encoded properly. Here is a list of things I've tried:

1. Setting CHARSET/ENCODING in my DSN as 'ASCII', 'UTF-8', and many others
2. Setting the locale:
   locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, 'en_US.utf8')
3. Changing autocommit and ANSI=True/False' in pyodbc.connect()

python==3.4.3, pyodbc==3.0.10
