distribution package python-pymssql 1.0.2+dfsg-1 for amd64 architecture in raring (Ubuntu 13.04) still does the very same.
I have previously compiled the sources downloaded from http://code.google.com/p/pymssql/downloads/detail?name=pymssql-2.0.0b1-dev-20111019.tar.gz&can=2&q= and set PYTHONPATH environment variable to point also to the folders containing the so binaries. By doing so it works for me. (I just realized there is a newer tarball http://code.google.com/p/pymssql/downloads/detail?name=pymssql-2.0.0b1-dev-20130403.tar.gz&can=2&q= same version number, but have not tested that one yet.) note also another problem with the pymssql shipped with distro, though you get an empty result, the nextresult() method of the cursor will always return True, so you can easily jump in an endless loop -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/918896 Title: returns no data from SQL server To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pymssql/+bug/918896/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
