Installation with poetry and mssqlserver extra broken

Open tharwan opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Hi,

when installing with the mssqlserver extra poetry attempts to install pymssql 3.0.3 which complains:

DeprecationWarning: The pymssql project has been discontinued. To install the last working released version, use a version specifier like "pymssql<3.0". For details and alternatives see: https://github.com/pymssql/pymssql/issues/668 [end of output]

a workaround is to do as it says. But maybe the pymssql dependency should be removed in favour of pyodbc.

pymssql is still fully supported and maintained, read the whole chain. Compared to similar official Microsoft SQL Github repositories, in my opinion, the support/maintenance of pymssql would appear to be better than that of Microsoft's.

Well it is nice to know but not obvious at all given the error message and the linked ticket 😅
