I'm having problems making a basic connection to a MSSQL Database Server using pypyodbc on OS X.
I have installed both unixodbc
and freetds
via Homebrew
brew install unixodbc
brew install freetds
I then installed pypyodbc
mkvirtualenv test
pip install pypyodbc
When I try to make a connection it fails with:
$ python -i test.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "test.py", line 20, in <module>
c = p.connect(dsn)
File "/Users/xxxxxxxx/.virtualenvs/symplectic_cleanup/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pypyodbc.py", line 2434, in __init__

My basic test.py
looks like this:
#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import pypyodbc as p
settings = {
"driver": "FreeTDS",
"hostname": "mssql.local",
"username": "testuser",
"password": "testpass",
"database": "testdb",
"port": 1433
}
dsn = "DRIVER={{{driver:s}}};SERVER={hostname:s};PORT={port:d};DATABASE={database:s};UID={username:s};PWD={password:s};CHARSET=UTF8;TDS_Version=8.0".format(**settings) # noqa
c = p.connect(dsn)
xs = c.execute("SELECT name FROM master..sysdatabases").fetchall()
There are several similar questions but they don't' seem to be addressing the problem I'm having which seems to be related to a driver issue.
