Simple MS SQL Python extension module

I don't know if I understood you correctly.

If you're connecting to local SQL server, just use '.' instead of hostname or IP address.

If you intend to use Windows authentication, don't use user and password arguments; instead use trusted=True, as specified in documentation.

If it hangs, the hostname is probably not what you expect. Add some print statements before pymssql.connect to see if the values pulled up by ipconfig and others are correct.
