Thanks Bill, and wesley, Psycopg worked for me. I had to use setup.cfg . Regular setup.py did not work.
AFA, pygresql I did used this some 2 years back. However, the install was pretty easy due to proper redhat rpm updates. I felt more comfortable with PyGreSQL. I liked it somehow. tar -xvf PyGreSQL.tar cd PyGreSQL-3.8/ sudo python setup.py build sh: pg_config: command not found Traceback (most recent call last): File "setup.py", line 77, in ? pg_include_dir = pg_config('includedir') File "setup.py", line 47, in pg_config raise Exception, "pg_config tool is not available." Exception: pg_config tool is not available. My pg_config is in : /usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_config thanks Srini --- w chun <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > >I tried to install pygresql: version: 3.8, it > failed > > >throwing exception : Exception: pg_config tool is > not > > >available. > > > > > >I gave another try on google and Postgres site > and > > >found Pypgsql, PoPy and psycopg1. > > > > I think that psycopg is generally considered the > preferred > > package. > > > as bill has suggested, it does appear that psycopg > is the preferred > from what i've seen. popy is outdated and (i > believe) merged with > PyGreSQL which is the one that PostgreSQL has in > their tree as it's > been around the longest. > > however rather than just talking about another > adapter because your > current one doesn't work, i'm more curious as to why > you are having > problems with PyGreSQL. i've never had a problem > with it... how did > you do your installation?
