Tom, O.K.,
I re-wrote my ./configure to start with ./configure PYTHON=/c/EnterpriseDB/LanguagePack/9.5/x64/Python-3.3/python.exe ... etc ... Thanks that works right now. checking for python... /c/EnterpriseDB/LanguagePack/9.5/x64/Python-3.3/python.exe checking for Python distutils module... yes checking Python configuration directory... checking Python include directories... -Ic:/EnterpriseDB/LanguagePack/9.5/x64/Python-3.3/include checking how to link an embedded Python application... -L -lpython3.3 Maybe the docs should say, something similar to "Full path name and file name of the XXX interpreter"? https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.5/static/install-procedure.html I also ended up needing. . . . 1. A copy of python33.dll to be in the folder C:\Windows\System32. (This 'location requirement' seems *stangely* hardcoded.) 2. pexports.exe ( that the mingw x86_64-6.2.0-release-posix-seh-rt_v5-rev0 does not have.) I ended up attaching the 'PostgreSQL happy' Strawberry PERL distribution c_bin_directory (that has pexports.exe ) to the end of my path. set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Strawberry\c\bin (But this guy know how to get pexports.exe directly) MinGW: pexports for Windows DLLs https://forbharat.wordpress.com/2010/12/30/mingw-pexports-for-windows-dlls/ I followed the instructions in here. http://get.enterprisedb.com/docs/README-languagepack-950.txt Then, I did. create language plpython3u; I followed the instructions in here. https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.5/static/plpython-funcs.html Last, I did a very simple test. postgres=# select pymax(5,3); pymax ------- 5 (1 row) Thanks, Andre Mikulec andre_miku...@hotmail.com ________________________________ From: Tom Lane <t...@sss.pgh.pa.us> Sent: Thursday, October 20, 2016 10:03 AM To: Andre Mikulec Cc: pgsql-general@postgresql.org Subject: Re: [GENERAL] configure PostgreSQL with the python: distutils module not found Andre Mikulec <andre_miku...@hotmail.com> writes: > I am trying to configure PostgreSQL with the plpython language available. > Here is my ./configure line > $ ./configure PYTHON=/c/EnterpriseDB/LanguagePack/9.5/x64/Python-3.3 > --with-python --with-includes=/c/EnterpriseDB/Lang Are you sure that that PYTHON specification actually points at a usable executable? > I am getting the error message. > checking for python... /c/EnterpriseDB/LanguagePack/9.5/x64/Python-3.3 > checking for Python distutils module... no > configure: error: distutils module not found The test that's failing is just if "${PYTHON}" -c 'import distutils' 2>&AS_MESSAGE_LOG_FD then AC_MSG_RESULT(yes) else AC_MSG_RESULT(no) AC_MSG_ERROR([distutils module not found]) fi so it seems pretty likely that the value of PYTHON you're forcing doesn't identify a usable Python. Looking into config.log to see what the stderr output of this test was might be informative. regards, tom lane
