Hi team,

We get build error while building pymssql, as its removed from python 3.8.

/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/setuptools/dist.py:44: DistDeprecationWarning: Do not call this functi
on

setup.py: platform.architecture() => (‘64bit’, ‘’)
----------------------------------------
ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1: python setup.py egg_info Check the logs for full command output

Due to this redash data sources which uses ms sql server has been removed.

Please find the issue details

platform.linux_distribution is removed in Python 3.8 #586

Kindly suggest.

Looks like you’re using the alpha version of V9. If you need a stable release you should stick with V8. In V9 we are introducing an ODBC connector for MSSQL and the the pymssql version will be removed in a subsequent release.

Hi

When will be V9 released.
