I am trying to build a test Django application and I want to connect to a MSSQL server. When I tried running my program I get an error ImportError: No module named pythoncom
. So I figured it's a missing module so I downloaded pywin32(32bit) for python 2.7 and installed it(Successfully). The problem is that error still appears and I can't seem to get rid of it. I've tried everything from running the install as admin to ActivePtyhon(freezes at determining disk space..)
This is the original Exception message:

ImportError: No module named pythoncom
used easy_install in my virtual environment and instead of entering the command, I used the path name to the pywin32.exe. In my case it was "C:\Users\PC\Downloads\pywin32-219.win32-py2.7.exe"
