RE: Install postgresql-plpython for postgres 11

Hi Jwo,

I am sorry, we have built Postgresql from the Centos 7 repository. Not from the source.
Is there any option to add this Language now ? If I need to rebuild with this option, what is the procedure to do that ?

Thanks,
Srikar

As I understand you have compiled the binaries yourself. In that case I think the only option is to recompile from the same sources with different configuration (this should be fairly fast unless you removed the object files). I don't know if there is a smooth way to use prepackaged (in form of RPM) version of PL/Python in this case.

This is version of the PL/Python for the base system version of PostgreSQL. This version is very old and not supported anymore by the developers. You need to have matching version of Postgres server and PL/Python.

Maybe others can give more insight if marrying compiled and packaged extension can work. I'd use the packaged version of Postgres server and PL/Python from official repository here: http://yum.postgresql.org
