Hi Malcom,

OK. So It's not just a version or platform problem then. The code
calling the hyphenated module path is at the top of the __init__.py
file in the mssql directory, as I mentioned before.

Since I now have django-pyodbc in my Pythonpath, I have tried to hack
the __init__.py file to call modules without the django-pyodbc part
and have now gotten a bit further on my error path. I will report back
later if I do succeed with anything useful.

Yes, you are right. When I searched for MS SQL server support, I came
across this Django ticket:
http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/5062

As you can see, a number of people were involved in patching code for
MS SQL server support, and finally someone nick-named jacob lifted the
code off to http://code.google.com/p/django-pyodbc/ in February this
year. Since then, very little seems to have happened, and I would very
much like to know the status of this project and/or if there is anyone
around using parts of this code to access an MS SQL server from an
Linux environment.

Kind regards,
Ulf
