Hello,

Is there any possibility to make COPY from list of records in PLPythonU?

I've tried to simply call `plpy.execute(query)` with such query:

COPY table (field1, field2, field3) FROM STDIN DELIMITER',';
val1,val2,val3
\.

But it fails with not so explicit error:
ProgrammingError: (psycopg2.ProgrammingError) spiexceptions.SyntaxError:
syntax error at or near "val1"
LINE 2: val1,val2,val3
         ^

The above is a psycopg2 error, so where are you running this and how?


However the same thing works in psql.

After some googling I found out that it doesn't work inside sql
functions because there is no STDIN (

).


I've got working solution which was saving tmp file and then calling
`COPY table FROM 'path'` but that's not cool.

Did I miss something in plpythonu api? If not, where can I post "feature
request" for that?
Or can you point me place where I could dig into the code and implement it?
