pymssql wheels are available from PyPi. To install it run:
pip install pymssql
Most of the times this should be all what's needed. The official pymssql wheels bundle a static copy of FreeTDS and have SSL support so they can be used to connect to Azure.
conn = pymssql.connect(server, user, password, "tempdb")
cursor = conn.cursor(as_dict=True)
cursor.execute('SELECT * FROM persons WHERE salesrep=%s', 'John Doe')
for row in cursor:
print("ID=%d, Name=%s" % (row['id'], row['name']))
conn.close()
