Since 2.7 now appears to be Python's "official" version I'm really hoping you guys can get out a version for it soon.

Do you mean Windows binaries?

Yes

Comment deleted

I've build 2.7 binaries (haven't tested yet), will attach.

hi guys, is this stable? anybody tested it?

people, how do i install pymssql on windows with python 2.7?

Hello guys, i need pymssql for python 2.7 too!! i'll try tested your binaries

Binaries seem to work, thanks! Is there any chance to 'officially' roll this out?

Binaries don't work for me. I get an error on loading the dll included. I'm running ActivePython 2.7 x64, wondering if you just compiled the x32?

How do I install this?

I have been building snapshots here, http://build.damoxc.net/downloads/pymssql/snapshots/ however I can't comment on their stability and also if memory serves I'm fairly sure you need to pass an environment variable specifying where the freetds.conf file is. I need to work out how to avoid requiring that file ideally.

isn't it about time for a official 2.7 release? The snapshots in the last post do not work.

Tony,

Yes, but there is only so much time in the day and there are still a few bugs to be ironed out. The current HG tip works on 2.7, you are welcome to build it.

I need a working windows version for python 2.7. Don't know exactly how to build, but i can spend time to learn and do it. If someone could explain me, i could build for all python 2.x version and test them.

thanks.

requiring a version of python before it can install seems silly. most everything i have seen in python 2.x series has been backward compatible. am i wrong? the installation seems to be checking for 2.6 in the registry. sqlalchemy, here i come! pymssql was great when i used it before. i guess momentum for this project has halted ?

SQLAlchemy and pymssql are not the same thing. You need a SQL Server "driver" for SQLAlchemy. The only two I know of that exist is pymssql and pyodbc. Momentum is definitely slow, but not halted.

The HG tip works in 2.7 but it does result in a few warnings...

cythoning _mssql.pyx to _mssql.c warning: _mssql.pyx:1198:51: local variable 'data' referenced before assignment warning: _mssql.pyx:170:11: Unreachable code building '_mssql' extension

if this is not the place for this , tell me where to give feedback please: tried 2 methods to install:

how to resolve the failed Cython compilation?

If you want a working version, you are going to have to use HG tip. easy_install is not currently going to work.

pyodbc ended up being a good solution - no clue if there was any tradeoff to performance or something else.

what is HG tip? google makes me think it is a development term.

Anyone could explain what HG tip is? I'm really confused about this term. Installing pymssql with python 2.7 failed with following error message:

cl:Command line error D8021: invalid numeric argument '-Wl,-allow-multiple-definition' I'm using Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition

"hg tip" is Mercurial version control speak

latest HG tip will support 2.7 I believe, although we don't have binaries for it yet, that issues is tracked elsewhere.

Does the python 2.7 windows installer at the bottom of this page work?
