The original question was how to find this out from python, which means at runtime. And the pg_lib_version of DBD::Pg clearly doesn't tell you what version of libpq it's using, only what it was built against. As long as you have libpq 9.0, you can decode the bytea hex thingy, irregardless of what version of libpq your <whatever other code/library> was linked against. -- Magnus Hagander Me: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/ -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
