Bug 49871 – Postgresql 7.4.2-r1 build no longer includes the python interface

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Colin Fox 2004-05-03 11:14:45 UTC]

If I do an "epm -ql postgres | grep python" in my 7.3 installation, I get:
/usr/lib/postgresql/plpython.so
/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/_pgmodule.so
/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/pg.py
/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/pgdb.py

In the 7.4 installation, I get:
/usr/lib/postgresql/plpython.so
/usr/share/doc/postgresql-7.4.2-r1/html/plpython.html
/usr/share/doc/postgresql-7.4.2-r1/html/plpython-database.html
/usr/share/doc/postgresql-7.4.2-r1/html/plpython-trigger.html
/usr/share/doc/postgresql-7.4.2-r1/sgml/plpython.sgml.gz

So the unfortunate state in 7.3 of having the html docs disappear has been fixed, but now the python interface is missing.

Python modules was removed in postgresql-7.4 and I didn't know that because I don't use it.

The Python modules is in PyGreSQL now.
I've just added it to portage tree as dev-db/pygresql-3.4

I've done simple test it.(Connection database and querying simple SQL)
But I don't use it usually as I said, so if there are any problems please let me know.

Thank you for reporting.

Yes, emerging the pygresql module seems to solve the problem. Thanks!

It might be a good idea to put something into the ebuild message for postgres that mentions this. :)

Sure.

I just added the message.
