Pymssql trouble on python 3.5 (Anaconda Package): Dll Load Failed: The Specific Module could not be found


I am having some issues importing pymssql. I installed it via PIP and I am using python 3.5 (anaconda package) on a win7 machine. I downloaded the appropriate DLL'S recommended here :

[http://www.pymssql.org/en/latest/freetds.html#windows][1]

and placed them in a folder called FreeTDS (in the same location anaconda installed in) and appended this to my python path and also added it to my windows path. But I am still not able to access this module. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!


Solution

  • This worked for me: pymssql binaries maintained by Christoph Gohlke (UCI) I ended up just uninstalling anaconda (python 3.5), doing a clean install and doing a pip install on the 64bit .whl provided in the link above. Worked like a charm (so far)
