Re: plpythonu strange syntax error

Excuse me if i don't replay before, but i haven't the possibility to try
pgadmin in a windows system (it is located in the Customer's Firm).

Yes it works. So the problem is that in Windows system PGAdmin seem to
create the function with CRLF characters.

I don't know if it is a python fault or a pgadmin fault but I think that
someone should fix it, because it is impossibile to use PGAdmin to
create plpython function in windows ...

Thank you for the the quick and precise response.
