This is due to an incompatibility between freetdx and PyMSSQL 1.0.x.
Workaround is to remove the python-pymssql package, and run `pip install pymssql` or `easy_install --upgrade pymssql` or similar, to get the most up to date pymssql version, greater than or equal to 2.0.1.
ALso confirmed this issue on Xenial and Yakkety, as well as Trusty.
