Hello,

(I hope this message doesn't show up twice, I've had some problems with
my outgoing mailserver.)

I try to use \COPY table FROM 'file' the following way:

hdl=pgdb.connect("...")
cur=hdl.cursor()
cur.execute("\\COPY packages_on_systems FROM '/tmp/tmpFCpuv_'")

However, this always returns the error:

pgdb.DatabaseError: error 'ERROR:  syntax error at or near "\" at
character 1
' in '\COPY packages_on_systems FROM '/tmp/tmpFCpuv_''

I've tried various ways of quoting and escaping the \, without success.
The same command works flawlessly in the postgresql-shell.
Anybody has a hint?

regards and tia,

Wolf
