Tim, it's raw SQL queries I want to use. Pyodbc looks fine, thanks for suggesting it to me. I'll have to test it on the specific machine on which I encountered the problem with pymssql.
Raúl, thanks for the link to a list of alternatives to pymssql. You suggested that I try and change the order of the imports. Actually pymssql was the first module I imported, but I did it from Idle, therefore it's probably not really the first import. Steven, sorry if my question was slightly off topic. I turned to this list to ask my question because I enjoy reading this list and people here know their stuff, but maybe I should stop considering that my questions fall into the 'beginner' category, now that I've been dabbling in Python for a few years.
