The above is a straw-man depiction of my point. What I said was that just because python is up-to-date on the system where plpython is *compiled* does not mean it'll be up-to-date on the system where plpython is *used*. With the increasing popularity of prebuilt packages (rpm, deb, etc), I think it's folly to use a build-time check for this. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
