Daniele (namesake), Thanks for the quick response. I tried that, it looks like https://github.com/psycopg/psycopg2/blob/master/scripts/build/appveyor.py#L291 shows the build step:
python setup.py build_ext -l "libpgcommon libpgport" After that, I still get a binary that depends on libpq.dll - but when I install psycopg2-binary, the DLL installed (the PYD file) does not depend on libpq.dll - it is statically built.
