Re: Pl/Python -- current maintainer?

I see neilc has hacked on it very recently to reduce memory leaks. I
take that as both good and bad signs.

We're a [ small ] python shop, and would be most interested in being
able to simplify our life through doing some things in plpython
instead of pl/pgsql where appropriate. Keeping our constants and so
forth in the appropriate python module would make things ever so much
simpler here and there at the very least.

But we've never hacked on the backend, nor at the C python API level.
But I see no reason why not to start now -- lurked here for many a
year. For example, I see that plpython functions cannot be declared
to return void. That can't be too tough to remedy. Implementing the
DBI 2.0 API interface to SPI can wait another day.
