i haven't got much of a clue about python's binary api, but what you are doing sounds absolutely crazy to me.
i guess you are using a binary prebuilt to use a certain python version (ie 2.5). your simplest solution is to install that python version (it is possible to have more than one version of python installed at a time, although i do not the details of how to do this on windows). alternatively, you might try building postgres yourself and seeing if it will build against python 2.6, but that sounds like a whole pile of work, while installing the right python version should be pretty easy. andrew ray wrote: > I am trying to get Python 2.6 and PostgreSQL 8.3 to work together > under Windows 2000. > > When I try to add Python to PostgreSQL via: > createlang plpythonu dbname > > But when doing so, I get an error: > createlang: language installation failed: ERROR: could not load > library "C:/Program Files/PostgreSQL/8.3/lib/createlang: language > installation failed: ERROR: could not load library "C:/Program Files/ > PostgreSQL/8.3/lib/plpython.dll": The specified module could not be > found." > > So I Used "depends" to walk the references of plpython.dll, I found > that it can not find python25.dll.
