Re: Installing support for python on windows

Whew, python lang support just installed for me too.

After reading more, it seems that while there is some broken dependency re
DWMAPI.dll on windowsxp systems, it does not affect most programs.
DWMAPI.dll is shown as missing by 'depends' but that exposes delay-loaded
problems that may have little real world impact. The best thread on the
matter seems to be
http://episteme.arstechnica.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/99609816/m/494009191831.
I'd not tried createlang since fixing the basic python and postgres path
issues, and had assumed that the remaining problem exposed by 'depends' was
a show stopper.

I wonder if it should be included in the docs for installing langs that on
windows postgresql\bin and python24 and python24\lib need to be in the path?
And that the current windows installer dll requires python 2.4?

Thanks Adrian for all of your assistance.
