I’m running Python 2.7.2 on OS 10.8.5
Trying to use pymssql, but I get the following error:
File "time_reporting.py", line 32, in <module>
import pymssql
File "/Users/xx/.virtualenvs/oracle/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pymssql.py", line 30, in <module>
import _mssql, types, string, time, datetime, warnings
ImportError: No module named _mssql
I’ve tried installing mssql with pip and brew only to be told that there’s no package by that name. The docs don’t seem to cover installation.
EDIT:
When I try to pip install pymssql I get:
Downloading/unpacking pymssql

You can install FreeTDS with Homebrew or MacPorts, or by downloading
and compiling it yourself.
Homebrew (http://brew.sh/)
--------------------------
brew install freetds
MacPorts (http://www.macports.org/)
-----------------------------------
sudo port install freetds
setup.py: Not using bundled FreeTDS

So I try brew install freetds and I get:
Warning: freetds-0.91 already installed, it's just not linked
which at least makes sense, but I don’t know how to fix it.
EDIT: I’ve linked it, so brew install freetds gives the message that it’s already installed, but pip install pymssql still gives the above error message.
EDIT:
export CFLAGS=-Qunused-arguments export CPPFLAGS=-Qunused-arguments pip uninstall MySQL-python brew uninstall mysql brew install mysql --universal pip install MySQL-python
Which now gives me the error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "time_reporting.py", line 34, in <module>
import pymssql
ImportError: dlopen(/Users/xxx/.virtualenvs/oracle/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pymssql.so, 2): Symbol not found: _dbversion

Expected in: flat namespace

Which I’ve had and fixed before but I don’t remember what I did.
EDIT:
OK, I’ve re-installed the 32-bit oracle and forced Python to run the 32-bit version (I think. I really have no idea what that last sentence means, but I think I’ve followed instructions correctly).
At any rate, here’s my error message now:

Answer
Ran these as root:
export CFLAGS=-Qunused-arguments export CPPFLAGS=-Qunused-arguments
Then had to do:
pip uninstall MySQL-python brew uninstall mysql brew install mysql --universal pip install MySQL-python
Not sure if it will be successful but it’s at least a new error message.
