Question

I am trying to run a python script using :-

python scriptname.py “someoptions”

When I do this it throws an error saying

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "scriptname.py", line 7, in <module>
    import pymssql
ImportError: No module named pymssql

I am on a mac.Can someone tell me how can I get this package ? and where do i need to put it to?

This is the error that pip is showing :-

> Downloading pymssql-2.0.0b1-dev-20111019.tar.gz (5.0Mb): 5.0Mb

The easiest way to install it is probably via pip (or the older easy_install).
