Re: where can I download the binaries of plpython extension

As I mentioned earlier, I already have a running postgresql instance on the
machibe but on different pathes. I didnt want to install another one with
the default pathes because I didnt want people to think that the default
pathes are the correct ones. If I'll install the package to the default
values then the solution is just coppying the plpythonu.control to my
instance`s extensions directory ?
