I had this same problem when I upgraded to 12.04. I discovered the problem to be an apparent incompatibility between FreeTDS 0.91 and pymssql 1.0.2. When I downgraded to FreeTDS 0.84RC4 (installed from source), pymssql 1.0.2 works fine. When I upgraded to pymssql 1.9.908 or 2.0.0, pymssql works fine. I decided to downgrade FreeTDS because of this comment: http://groups.google.com/group/pymssql/browse_thread/thread/2de6418ae7c2da56
