If you installed Microsoft ODBC Driver 17 on your environment. Then the value for driver should be driver = '{ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server}'. You can download different ODBC drivers here.

The working python samle:

    import pyodbc
    server = 'test.database.windows.net'
    database = ''
    username = ''
    password = ''
    driver = '{ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server}'
    cnxn = pyodbc.connect('DRIVER='+driver+';SERVER='+server +
                      ';PORT=1433;DATABASE='+database+';Uid=testsql;Pwd={your_password_here};Encrypt=yes;TrustServerCertificate=no;Connection Timeout=30')
    cursor = cnxn.cursor()
    cursor.execute(
        "select * from Persons")
    row = cursor.fetchone()
    while row:
        print(str(row[0]) + " " + str(row[1]))
        row = cursor.fetchone()
