i haven't got much of a clue about python's binary api, but what you are doing sounds absolutely crazy to me.
Andrew is right; unless you want to do exploratory work, install the latest 2.5, and use that Python for your PostGres work. A number of packages have not made it to 2.6 yet.
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).
The details are trivial compared to what it takes for other platforms: install the latest 2.5 and (if you _really_ want to be normally using 2.6), install the latest 2.6 afterwards. You can avoid re-installing 2.6 with a few command line manipulations (ftype and assoc), possibly also changing %PATH% (the PATH environment variable), but the simplest way is to just re-install 2.6. By the way, it looks like Barry Warsaw will be releasing 2.6.2 soon -- 2.6.2 rc1 on 6-April, hoping for 2.6.2 final on 10-April). --Scott David Daniels scott.dani...@acm.org -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
