Pywin32 is a requirement. I don't believe there is a way of getting that installed and working on debian linux.

Django-mssql requirements

Answer 2

Actually,there is a workaround with ODBC interface.

1. Install Microsoft ODBC Driver 1.0 for linux

2. Install django_pyodbc.

3. Configure your database backend with django-pyodbc.

I've tested,everything works just fine.
