Re: Postgre 8.2.3 Windows PL/Python Support

Magnus,

I believe you are correct. It might also be good to include it in the
HTML Helpfile (CHM).

Kind regards,

Isn't this handled already? See the running-on-win32 FAQ question 4.1
and
the win32 installation instructions at
http://pginstaller.projects.postgresql.org/.

Except I think we need to update the versions on that page. Dave, can
you
update that one with whatever version you have in your build
environment,
since that's what goes in the binaries? Thanks!
