I am a newbie (just 1 week) to this Python world. I tried installing django-mssql, but when I tried to import the library (using import sqlserver_ado.dbapi), I got this error message:
ImportError: No module named pythoncom
I tried to look for that library without success.
Can you guys point me in the right direction?

Method 1
You are missing the pythoncom package. It comes with ActivePython but you can get it separately on GitHub (previously on SourceForge) as part of pywin32.
You can also simply use:
pip install pywin32
Method 2
If you’re on windows you probably want the pywin32 library, which includes pythoncom and a whole lot of other stuff that is pretty standard.
Method 3
You should be using pip to install packages, since it gives you uninstall capabilities.
Also, look into virtualenv. It works well with pip and gives you a sandbox so you can explore new stuff without accidentally hosing your system-wide install.
Method 4
$ pip3 install pypiwin32
Sometimes using pip3 also works if just pip by itself is not working.
Method 5
Just go to cmd and install pip install pywin32 pythoncom is part of pywin32 for API window extension….
