Hi,

I am biwildered at how to create a multi-line plpython function in Postgres. When I create the function in one line like this:

CREATE or REPLACE FUNCTION circ (float)
RETURNS float AS 'from math import pi; return 2*pi*args[0]' LANGUAGE plpythonu;


and then use SELECT circ(1) to test it, it runs well.

But if I try to make the code looks better by separating it into mulitple lines, like this:

CREATE or REPLACE FUNCTION circ (float)
RETURNS float AS '
from math import pi
return 2*pi*args[0]' LANGUAGE plpythonu;

I got an error message:

ERROR:  plpython: could not compile function "circ"
DETAIL:  exceptions.SyntaxError: invalid syntax (line 2)

How to get Postgres to accept a normal looking python function?

Greetings
