Well thank you Christoph Gohlke and thank you Ian Bicking and colleagues.
I just used pip to nakedly install psycopg2 and Pillow without a hitch. My distrust of Windows has kept me going back to Christoff's well for years.
Maybe it is time to assume innocence unless proven guilty ;-) Thanks to all who showed me the way. Cheers Mike On 11/04/2023 11:39 pm, Thomas Passin wrote:

I use python on windows so I’d like to know. ThanksPython itself is fine, but a lot of third-party packages are hard to obtain. So if you need numpy, for instance, or psycopg2, you might need to find an alternative source.I've noticed a big change in the last few years in that PyPi has many, many amd-64 packages than it used to in the heyday of Christoph Gohlke's efforts. I haven't needed to go there for some time whereas I used to need to all the time. So if I "need numpy, for instance, or psycopg2" for Windows, I get them from PyPi.Yes, I know that some projects haven't caught up to Python 3.11x yet. And I'm glad I haven't needed to create a binary wheel for Windows myself. But the situation is way better than it used to be. I've had more trouble with Python and Python packages on Linux than on Windows.
